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
Precipitation and anthropogenic nitrogen (N) may have profound impacts on ecosystem carbon (C) fluxes and the plant water use efficiency (WUE), particularly in semi-arid salinized and alkalized grasslands that were limited by both N and water availability. To better understand the mechanism of N and precipitation effects on C fluxes and plant WUE, in 2015, we established a randomized block-design N addition experiment, including five N levels (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 g N m −2 yr −1 ) in a meadow steppe (dominated by Leymus chinensis (Trin.) Tzvel.) of northeast China. Between 2016–2019, we investigated how N addition, combined with different amounts of annual and early growing season precipitation availability, modulated ecosystem C fluxes (NEE, net ecosystem CO 2 exchange; ER, ecosystem respiration; GEP, gross ecosystem production), plant WUE, including leaf-scale long-term intrinsic WUE (iWUE) inferred from 13 C composition and ecosystem-scale WUE (W G, W G = GEP/ET), as well as related biotic and edaphic variables. We found that: (i) N supply decreased NEE and increased ER, GEP, and W G in a nonlinear pattern; (ii) N addition increased iWUE and thus W G ; and (iii) higher early growing season precipitation, in contrast to annual precipitation, magnified the effect of N on NEE, ER, GEP, and W G, suggesting that N effects on NEE, ER, GEP, and W G depend more on early growing season precipitation than annual precipitation. The present study improves our understanding of the coupled mechanisms of future global C, N, and water dynamics shaped by global climate change.
