Metric Options: CountsSelecting 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.

Artifact Description
Summer and fall grazing trials were conducted to study the effect of monoterpenoid concentrations on the diet selection of sheep grazing big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. tridentata) range. Total monoterpenoid concentrations were significantly lower in browsed sagebrush plants than in rejected plants. Sheep selected older plants and plant parts, not current season's growth. As annual grasses in the community declined, sheep consumed more sagebrush, resulting in an increase in dietary crude protein but a decline in in vitro organic matter digestibility. This study indicates that monoterpenoid levels, not nutritional constituents, may influence sheep diet selection of sagebrush.
