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
The remote cold environments of Indian Himalayas are witnessed by extreme situations with a lot of variations in temperatures, low availability of water and nutrients and exposure to a lot of radiations. These extreme environments generally considered unfavourable to growth and survival of plants and animals are usually colonized by the microorganisms capable of growth and survivability under the prevailing severe conditions. Because of the extremophilic enzymes, proteins and biomolecules possessed by cold-adapted microorganism, they are of importance for industry, agriculture and biotechnology. In this chapter, (1) diversity of bacteria present in cold environments based on culturing and metagenomics approaches, (2) microorganisms from cold environments in agriculture, (3) novel bacteria from cold environments and (4) genome sequencing of bacteria from cold environments have been discussed. Bacteria affiliated to various phyla like Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Acidobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes, Planctomycetes, Chlamydiae, Chlorobi, Chloroflexi, Dictyoglomi, Fibrobacteres, Nitrospirae and Verrucomicrobia have been reported from the Indian Himalayas. Microorganisms belonging to various genera for improving agriculture production under cold environment have been isolated and identified. Twenty-one novel species of bacteria have been isolated from different locations in the cold environments of the Himalayas. A genome of 18 strains isolated from these cold environments has been sequenced and published.
