N2 - The authors regret that the printed version of the above article contained errors. These errors in no way affect the analyses performed in this manuscript, the reported results, or the draw conclusions. The authors would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. The requested change does not affect the measures, because all estimation was based on raw values, without conversion to Gg km−2. The correct and final version follows. Page 3: The final value was obtained according to the equation below: Carbon stock in above−ground biomass (Gg km−2): % C X AGB X area (obtained in the Boosted Regression Trees−BRT Model) Changes to: Carbon stock in above−ground biomass (Pg C): % C (dry weight) X AGB (dry weight) X area (obtained in the Boosted Regression Trees−BRT Model) * Biomass dry weight corresponds to 10% of wet weight. Page 4, first paragraph of Results: “…and a potential standing stock 82.58 Gg km−2 of floating Sargassum in the Atlantic Ocean. At the global scale, models estimated 305.95 and 139.59·104 km2 of floating and benthic Sargassum, respectively (445.54·104km2 in total), and overall biomass of 84.05 Gg km−2, which corresponds to 13.1 Pg C globally (Fig. 1b)”. Changes to: “…and a potential standing stock 8.25 Gg km−2 of floating Sargassum in the Atlantic Ocean. At the global scale, models estimated 305.95 and 139.59·104 km2 of floating and benthic Sargassum, respectively (445.54·104km2 in total), and overall biomass of 8.40 Gg km−2, which corresponds to 13.1 Pg C globally (Fig. 1b)”. Page 4, first paragraph of Discussion: “These floating Sargassum estimates are increased up to 25.2·103 Gg when considering the potential global distribution of the genus (Fig. 1b)”.

Changes in Fig. 1b: Fig. 1b Corrections of values in Above ground biomass of 82.58 Gg km−2, 1.47 Gg km−2 and 84.05 Gg km−2.
