A model for the fate and transport of pesticide has been calibrated with field data from 1968 to 1978. The results have aided in a management decision to lift a commercial fishing ban in Coralville Reservoir, eastern Iowa. Dieldrin residues in fish, sediment, and water are all declining at about 15 percent per year. Approximately 50 percent of the pesticide load is exported from the reservoir in the outflow, 40 percent undergoes sedimentation, and 10 percent enters the fish.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 May 2014.
All research outputs
#4,200,644
of 27,672,907 outputs
Outputs from Science
#38,958
of 84,741 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#492
of 7,559 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Science
#24
of 108 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 27,672,907 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 84,741 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 66.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 7,559 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 108 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
