Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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.

Article Description
On Ile de la Possession, as on all the subantarctic islands, major compounds of organic nutrients are provided by avifauna. The presence of Wandering Albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) induces great perturbations in the environment at the site of their nest building activities: physical and chemical modifications of the soil (by removal of litter material for nest building, trampling and accumulated organic deposits) as well as microbiological, botanical and faunal changes. These perturbations are very localized in extent. The pedological changes have been described in terms of morphological modifications. The influence of Wandering Albatrosses on the vegetation and the invertebrate fauna has been assessed and shows a decrease in the number of plant species and an increase in the number of invertebrate species. The role of some of these as indicator species is discussed. © 1987 Springer-Verlag.
