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
Soil is the primary foundation of the agroeco-system. Keeping in view such scenario, the soil potential physio-chemical properties and their impacts on sustainable land use planning over the Neelam river basin, AJK, Pakistan has been investigated. Soil potential and their physicochemical properties using the survey method at various classes of land use in the AJK regions were measured. The results of the study revealed that soil fertility was categorized into very low, low, medium, high, and very high fertility classes. The outcome of the survey showed that 66.95% sand and 23.91% soil elements were measured in the forest layer, and 37% clay elements in the subsurface layer of cultivated land. The high (58.09%) and low (49.34%) mean TP values were observed in cultivated and forest land areas, respectively. About 52.61% of Neelam valley was detected below low organic matter (OM) classification. Comparatively, a high total nitrogen nutrient (0.121%) was found high in the cultivated land. K nutrient particles 93.15 mg kg and 23.47 mg kg were recorded for cultivated and forest layers, respectively. The higher (61.54%) and lower (25.14%) values of PBS were observed for cultivated and forest land. Furthermore, Mn > Fe > Cu > Zn order of the micronutrient quantity has been recorded for all land types over the Neelam valley, Pakistan. The results of the study predicted that the potential of soil nutrients is essential for green innovation and green economic growth, which positively contributes to sustainable land use planning.
