A correction has been made to the Abstract: “[..] Species distribution modeling was challenged by limited observations and lack of information on substrate, but suggested a current (2000–2017) potential pan-Arctic brown macroalgal distribution area of 655,111 km2 (140,433 km2 intertidal, 514,679 km2 subtidal), representing an increase of about 45% for subtidal- and 8% for intertidal macroalgae since 1940– 1950, and associated polar migration rates averaging 18–23 km decade−1
Adjusting the potential macroalgal distribution area by the fraction of shores represented by cliffs halves the estimate (340,658 km2). [..]”
Summary
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Global Change and the Future Ocean, a section of the journal Frontiers in Marine Science. The original article contained errors in the reported modeled macroalgal distribution area in the pan-Arctic and its subregions because the polygons used to calculate the areas were not correctly defined.
