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
Greenhouse cultivation has no seasonal limitations and research is being conducted globally to assess control of environmental factors within greenhouses to optimize growing conditions. Attempts to improve the environmental factors in greenhouse cultivation include control of temperature, relative humidity, light intensity, carbon dioxide level, and air flow rate. Furthermore, indoor cultivation systems (growth chambers) have been developed and researched for comparison with greenhouse cultivation. In our study, comparative environmental data were collected in association with cannabis cultivation for a greenhouse and growth chamber, since commercial cannabis cultivation can include such methods. Accordingly, the data in this research were collected by choosing the same cannabis cultivars for both cultivation methods and by controlling the internal growing environments that affected cultivation. Data also were collected on the plant biochemical properties over the same time period and the collected data were analyzed using psychrometric charts. The findings of this research show that if the internal environment of the indoor cultivation method is well-regulated, better results in cannabidiol (CBD) extraction from blossoms can be achieved as compared to greenhouse cultivation, in which environmental regulation is less precise. Therefore, we conclude that if we can control the internal environment of greenhouse cultivation to be similar to the indoor cultivation method, the productivity of the two methods should be similar. The findings of this research can be used to develop greenhouse cultivation methods for other plants in order to improve future productivity and efficiency.
