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
Herbage production, water-use efficiency (i.e. above-ground phytomass production per unit of evapotranspiration), surface runoff, deep percolation, soil loss and soil organic matter content were determined on rangeland in three different ecological conditions, viz. poor, moderate and good, for 20 years. Hydraulic non-floating lysimeters were used to determine evapotranspiration (Et), soil evaporation (E) and deep percolation. Runoff and soil loss were recorded on runoff plots. Above-ground phytomass production, water-use efficiency, deep percolation and soil organic matter content decreased (P<0.01) when plant cover was reduced or range and soil condition declined. The dense plant cover of veld in good condition provides a situation in which surface runoff and soil loss rates are lower (P<0.01) than that from veld in poor condition.
