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
There are few studies about biochar application in seasonally frozen soil areas. The regulatory mechanism of biochar on the water-soil environment and carbon emissions in seasonally frozen soil areas is unclear, which affects the study of nutrient migration and spring cropping systems under the control of biochar. For this purpose, we monitored the soil temperature (Ts), soil liquid moisture content (Ms) and soil respiration (Rs) rate during the freeze-thaw period under different application amounts of corn stover biochar (0 t∙ha −1, 15 t∙ha −1, 30 t∙ha −1, 45 t∙ha −1 and 60 t∙ha −1 ). The results showed that biochar can reduce the thermal conductivity of soil, thus improving the thermal insulation effect of frozen thawed soil, and Ts increased by 1.8–5.7 °C. The Ts and Ms were more sensitive to the high biochar application amount than to the low application amount. At the same time, biochar changed the soil aggregate distribution, and Pearson correlation analysis indicated that the soil water retention capacity increased by increasing the macroaggregate content (>0.25 mm), and the Ms increased by 3.7–6.1%. Principal component regression (PCR) analysis showed that biochar can promote soil carbon emission, and Rs of soil treated with biochar was 0.01–0.58 μmol m −2 s −1 higher than that of the control. The Ms and Ts were the most important factors promoting the carbon emissions of freeze-thaw soil under the synergistic effect of biochar and freeze-thaw conditions. However, biochar may promote soil CO 2 emissions by affecting the water-soil environment. Considering the soil moisture, seed germination and growth conditions in spring, the suitable biochar application amount was determined to be 44–51 t∙ha −1. This study provides theoretical support for determining reasonable and effective biochar control measures and improving the soil productivity of farmland soil in seasonally frozen soil areas.
