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.

Review Description
Abstract: A significant proportion of the Earth surface is covered by deserts. Despite the stressful environmental conditions, deserts can host diverse microbial populations, especially extremophiles. Due to their remarkable adaptive capabilities, extremophiles have been used in biotechnology and medicine. Understanding microbial diversity in arid environments offers also potential sources of new natural bioactive metabolites. The Lut Desert, located in the eastern part of Iran, is one of the driest and hottest deserts around the world. It presents a collection of unique natural phenomena and geological records. In this review, we describe the previous efforts to show the microbial diversity in the Lut Desert and highlight their promising applications.
