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
Maize was grown under controlled conditions in a pot experiment to determine how drought sensitivity would be affected by differential soil fertilities. Soil was obtained from a fertilization field trial where soil fertility differences developed over a period of 45 years. Four water stress treatments were applied in the pot experiment. Grain yield was determined as a measure of the stress reaction. Plants with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium deficiencies were apparently less tolerant to water stress conditions than well fertilized plants. As could be expected, plants were more sensitive to drought during the reproductive phase than during the vegetative phase. However, the differences in sensitivity were much more for plants with nutrient deficiencies. The results implied that nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium played a beneficial role in the drought adaptation mechanisms of the well fertilized plants. © 1989 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
