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
Chelates, used to increase the uptake of heavy metals in phytoremediation, can also increase the mobility of metals. If plants fail to uptake or stabilize all the mobilized metals, then subsurface soil or groundwater can be contaminated. Therefore, the type and concentration of chelate used and proper site management are important for chelate-aided phytoremediation. In this study, we evaluated potential metal leaching from the soil after applying three different chelates. The readily soluble and exchangeable metal (RSEM) and plant-available metal (PAM) of Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, and Ni in soil amended with ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA), ethylene diamine disuccinate (EDDS), or humic acid (HA) were analyzed, and the potential leaching factor (PLF) of the heavy metals was estimated. Results showed that the effects of chelates and their concentration on RSEM and PAM of heavy metal in soil were different. The addition of EDTA increased the C and C of all heavy metals, although its effects varied with the concentration added. EDDS application increased C and C of Cu, Ni, and Zn, but EDDS was more effective than EDTA for Cu and Ni. HA did not show a significant impact due to the short duration of the experiment. In most cases with chelates effects, the increase of RSEM was greater than PAM, and the potential of metal leaching increased. Therefore, application of chelates for remediation of metal-contaminated soil should consider not only the capacity of metal uptake in plants but also the potential metal leaching from the system. Additionally, this process should be accompanied by proper water management to minimize leachate in chelate-aided phytoremediation applications.
