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
Chloride is often considered as the main chlorine form in soils. However, recent studies show that chlorine is mostly present in soils as naturally produced organically bound molecules. The relative contribution of biotic, including microbial, and abiotic processes to formation of organically bound chlorine remains poorly understood. We performed a 37 Cl spiking batch experiment with a forest soil incubated under abiotic and biotic conditions over two time periods to simultaneously monitor the formation of organically bound chlorine from natural and tracer chlorine. To compare biotic and abiotic conditions without biased effect of sterilization technique for abiotic control, the soil was irradiated and reinoculated or not with soil microflora. Fifteen days after microbial inoculation, the natural non-extractable organic chlorine content in the inoculated soil was significantly higher than in the sterile soil, showing that microbial activity contributed to formation of organically bound chlorine. However, no significant difference was noted between the two incubation periods. The same trend was noted for tracer chlorine, yet without a significant difference. The present study shows that chlorination is mediated by microbial activity, but there is also some indication of abiotic formation of organically bound chlorine, with a non-extractable organic tracer chlorine formation of about 6% just after spiking in abiotic conditions.
