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
Assessing the effects of calcium-containing amendments on heavy metal availability in metal-polluted, varying pH soils, is essential for remediation purposes. An acidic and a calcareous heavy metal-polluted soils were amended with lime (calcium hydroxide), calcium nitrate or calcium chloride, and then, heavy metal bioavailability was assessed using the metal hyperaccumulator Sedum plumbizincicola along with a DTPA extraction, a soil bioavailability index. Lime amendment resulted in decreased soil DTPA-extractable heavy metal concentrations in both soils (54.5 and 15.7% lower than the control in the acidic and calcareous soil, respectively), increased plant yield and decreased shoot accumulation of most metals. Calcium nitrate and calcium chloride amendments resulted in elevated soil pH in the acidic soil while those resulted in decreased pH in the calcareous soil, both resulting in decreased plant yield and elevated plant shoot heavy metal concentrations in both soils. The calcium chloride amendment also resulted in elevated soil DTPA-extractable Cd, Zn and Mn concentrations (32.5–350% greater than the control) and elevated shoot Cd, Zn and Mn concentrations (11.1–351%) in both soils. Choosing the correct calcium amendment for heavy metal-contaminated soils, while considering soil pH, is obviously important for successful remediation purposes.
