<p>The journal retracts the 6th of June 2022 publication.</p>
<p>Following publication, concerns were raised regarding data misrepresentation and the methodology used. An investigation was conducted in accordance with Frontiers&#x2019; policies. Despite provision of additional data by the author, the Chief Editor deemed that the article&#x2019;s conclusions were undermined by methodological errors and limitations; therefore, the article has been retracted.</p>
<p>The retraction of the article was approved by the Chief Editor of Frontiers in Environmental Science and the Editor-in-Chief of Frontiers. The author did not agree to the retraction.</p>
