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
The objective of the study is to improve understanding of natural phosphorus removal processes to limit the need for chemical addition in an existing facultative wastewater stabilization pond in Manitoba, Canada. Surface samples were collected from lagoon cells and analyzed. The windward and leeward sides of the ponds were sampled and the results were averaged. Phosphorus appears to be removed by assimilation into biomass; and precipitation at alkaline pH. When the nitrogen to phosphorus (N/P) ratio and ideal theoretical N/P ratio for cellular growth are compared, there appears to be nitrogen-limiting conditions in the secondary cells of the stabilization system. There is evidence ammonia removal by free ammonia volatilizing to the atmosphere may be contributing to nitrogen-limiting conditions in the secondary lagoon cells. Additional nitrogen may need to be supplied to remove more phosphorus by assimilation into biomass.
