Correction to: Scientific Reportshttps://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-54001-3, published online 21 February 2024 The original version of this Article contained a repeated error, where all instances of the unit ‘µm’ were incorrectly given as ‘mm’. As a result, in the Material and methodology section, under the subheading ‘Quantification of the coccolith‑Sr/Ca ratios’, “The laboratory procedure is further described in the Supplementary Material. We present the Sr/Ca ratios determined from the bulk fraction (< 20 mm) and from the three coccolith size-fractions (> 6 mm, 3–6 mm and < 3 mm), which we compared to published data concerning the total and species-specific coccolith- and coccolith-CaCO 3 export production from the same samples.” now reads: “The laboratory procedure is further described in the Supplementary Material.

The small fraction (< 3 mm) was dominated (38–87%) by CaCO 3 from deep-dwelling species Gladiolithus flabellatus and F. profunda. The intermediate (~ 3–6 mm) and large fractions (> 6 mm) were dominated by carbonate produced by Helicosphaera spp. (up to 83%) followed by Scyphosphaera apsteinii (up to 44%), Calcidiscus leptoporus (up to 19%) and Pontosphaera spp. (up to 7%).” now reads: “The bulk fraction (< 20 µm) overall mimicked the seasonal variation of the original coccolith sinking assemblages and related coccolith-CaCO 3 reported by 8,17 .
