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
Surface soil moisture is a key variable to describe water and energy exchanges at the surface/atm interface and measure drought and aridification. The Ts-NDVI space is an effective method to monitor regional surface soil moisture status. Due to the disturbance of multiple factors, the established dry or wet boundary with monotemporal remote sensing data is unstable. This paper developed a Ts-NDVI triangle space with MODIS NDVI dataset to monitor soil moisture in the Mongolian Plateau in 2000–2012. Based on the temperature vegetation dryness index (TVDI), the spatiotemporal variations of drought were studied. The results indicated that (1) the general Ts-NDVI space method is an effective way to monitor regional soil moisture. However, if the single time space shows perfect structure, there would be no differences between the inverted results of the single time space and the general space. (2) The TVDI calculated in the paper is expected to show the water deficit for the region from low (bare soil) to high (full vegetation cover) NDVI values, and it is found to be in close negative agreement with precipitation and soil moisture; changes in the TVDI are dependent on the water status in the study area. (3) In the Mongolian Plateau, TVDI presented a zonal distribution with changes in Land Use/Land Cover types, vegetation cover, and latitude. Drought was serious in bare land, construction land, and grassland. Drought was widely spread throughout the Mongolian Plateau, and there was aridification in the study period. Vegetation degradation, overgrazing, and climate warming could be considered as the main reasons.
