Corrigendum to: Fire Danger Rating System: implementing fire behaviour calculations to forecast fire danger in a research prototype
B. J. Kenny , S. Matthews , S. Sauvage , S. Grootemaat , J. J. Hollis and P. Fox-HughesThis article corrects International Journal of Wildland Fire 33, WF23142. doi:10.1071/WF23142
On Page 3 of the published paper, in discussion of the fire behaviour models used in the Australian Fire Danger Rating System, the publication related to the grass model was cited incorrectly as McArthur (1973) which is regretted. The citation should, in fact, be Cheney et al. (1998), which is correctly cited in Table 1 on page 4 of the published paper and also provided in the References list.
Therefore, the incorrect paragraph below:
Fire spread models
Eight models of rate of forward spread were used, as recommended by Cruz et al. (2015a), including those specific to forest (Cheney et al. 2012), grassland (McArthur 1973), spinifex (Burrows et al. 2017), pine (Cruz et al. 2008), northern grassland (savanna woodland) (Cheney and Sullivan 2008), mallee-heath (Cruz et al. 2013), shrubland (Anderson et al. 2015) and buttongrass (Marsden-Smedley and Catchpole 1995a) fuel types.
Should read as:

This has made the below reference redundant as not being cited anywhere else in the paper.
McArthur AG (1973) ‘Grassland fire danger meter MkIV.’ (Forest Research Institute, Forestry and Timber Bureau: Canberra, ACT)
