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
In the present study, growth performance, antioxidant activities and cadmium (Cd) accumulation in eco-friendly bacterial consortium inoculated Mentha arvensis grown in Cd contaminated soils were evaluated. Eco-friendly bacterial consortium inoculation significantly enhanced growth, biomass and antioxidant efficacy of M. arvensis plants grown in contaminated soil, i.e. wastewater irrigated and Cd-spiked soils over the non-inoculated plants (p < 0.05). Cd accumulation in roots, stems and leaves of M. arvensis inoculated with eco-friendly bacterial consortium decreased significantly as compared to plant without bacterial consortium (p < 0.05) in wastewater irrigated (5.3%, 48.5% and 5.8%, respectively) and Cd spiked (2.2%, 20.9% and 27.1%, respectively) soils. Thus, the present study concludes that application of Cd resistant eco-friendly bacterial consortium in polluted soils could be helpful in improving growth of M. arvensis and preventing entry of Cd in food chain.
