Error in Figure/Table

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 2 as published. In the last row of the table, a mistake was made in the calculation of the total for carbon BGB and soil. The corrected Table 2 appears below.
Another error was present in Figure 5. In the legend inside the figure, the carbon emission and carbon stock colours were reversed. The corrected Figure 5 appears below.

Text Correction

In relation to the error in Table 2, the same values reported in the text were also affected.
A correction has been made to the Abstract, Section 3.1, and Section 4.1.
Abstract:
The total soil carbon of ca. 19 TgC shows the potential of the MMFR as a carbon sink.
Section 3.1:
Considering the total areas occupied by different forest zones (productive, restrictive productive, and protective), the total C stock for the MMFR (AGB, BGB, and soil combined) would be equal to 23,038,322.9 Mg C.
Section 4.1:
By extrapolating soil carbon values for all forest ages and linking them to the areal extent of each forest zone, we estimated that the total carbon storage in the soil can reach 19,395,575.1 Mg C. Hence the carbon storage in the soil seems to be much greater than the carbon stock in the vegetation biomass, with this estimated to be 2,698,331.7 Mg C.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

Table 2. Total carbon stock (C) in AGB, BGB, and top 1 m of soil for the productive, restrictive productive, and protective forest zones in the MMFR. For the protective forest the biomass and carbon per ha was considered at least equal to a 30-year-old stand, as these forest areas are in many cases older than that; hence, the values reported for the protective forest are an underestimation of the real carbon stock.
