Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Salt-affected soils are most common land degradation processes in arid and semi-arid regions, where evaporation exceeds precipitation. Under such climatic conditions, the soluble salts are accumulates in the soil influence the soil properties and crop productivity as well. Therefore, mapping of saline and sodic soils is essential for understanding the soil resource for sustainable use and management. The extent of primary salt-affected soils in the world is about 955 Mha, as secondary salinization affects some 77 Mha out of which 58% are in irrigated areas. Estimates reveal that nearly 20% of all irrigated land is salt-affected, and the proportion tends to increase in spite of reclamation. Hence careful monitoring of the soil salinity and sodicity status is required for change detection and identification of hotspot areas for arresting the soil degradation. Remote sensing has surpassed the traditional method of assessing the soil salinity and sodicity areas offering more rapid and informative assessment techniques for monitoring and mapping. Multi-temporal, optical and microwave remote sensing has significant role in detecting temporal and spatial changes of salt-related surface features. Airborne geophysics and ground based electromagnetic induction meters, combined with ground truth data, have shown potential for mapping depth of salinity occurrence. Recent satellite sensors (e.g., Resourcesat-1, Cartosat-1, IKONOS I, and RISAT-2), along with improved image processing techniques integrated with terrain and other spatial data using a geographic information system, are enabling mapping at large scale. The variations in salt encrustation at the surface imposed by soil moisture variation, water logging, vegetative barrier, and dynamics of subsurface salts present constraints could be overcome through recent satellite sensors and mapped by using spatial techniques for better management.
