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.

Article Description
We investigated the impacts of landscape structure changes on ecosystem services for Guder watershed. We first analyzed remotely sensed data of four decades (1973–2015). The raster data sets of land uses were used as an input in FRAGSTAT to analyze the magnitude of fragmentation. Furthermore, the locally modified ecosystem service values to estimate the ESVs for the watershed were used. Results indicated that grasslands, shrub land, and forest lands reduced by 83.5%, 48.5%, and 37.5%, whereas the corresponding increase was recorded for settlement and cultivated land by 572.2% and 7.1%. Fragmentation analysis showed an increase in class area (CA) for cultivated land and settlement, whereas number of patches (NP) rose for forest land, shrub land, grassland, settlement, and cultivated land signifying the extent of fragmentation. The overall ESVs of the watershed decreased due to the changes in landscape structure. We recommend the need to take in to account landscape-level watershed conservation to enhance ecosystem services.
