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
Irrigated agriculture can generate pressures on water bodies and, consequently, potential environmental costs; likewise, agricultural water use can provide several ecosystem services (ES). Both pressures and benefits must be included in the economic analysis of River Basin District Management Plans (RBDMPs), for the environmental cost accounting of agricultural water use. In the RBDMPs, the main reference for environmental benefits and costs accounting is the Program of Measures (PoM), as set by the Water Framework Directive (WFD). This paper aims to provide a review of the main ES of irrigated agro-ecosystem and to clarify how the implementation of the actions that support them can constitute an opportunity to internalize the environmental cost charged to agricultural sector.
