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
In this study, we analyzed toxic metals in leaves and marine sediment samples from the black mangrove in Sepetiba Bay to measure contamination and the use of Avicennia schaueriana leaves as bioindicator of toxic metal environmental pollution. The concentrations of heavy metals, namely cadmium (Cd), chrome (Cr), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), and zinc (Zn), were determined by using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). High concentrations of Mn were found in the leaves, while high concentrations of Mo and Zn were found in sediments. A. schaueriana leaves showed a tremendous capacity to absorb toxic metals, tolerating high concentration of manganese and may be used as phytoremediator for this toxic metal in impacted coastal marine environments. Herein, we reported for the first time the utilization of Avicennia schaueriana as a highly efficient accumulator for Mn.
