Prediction of Water Retention of Soils from the Humid Tropics by the Nonparametric k‐Nearest Neighbor Approach (2013, background): “Zacharias and Wessolek (2007) suggested the exclusion of OM or OC as a predictor in classic PTFs and proposed a new PTF that uses only physical properties such as soil texture and BD.”
Enhanced pedotransfer functions with support vector machines to predict water retention of calcareous soil (2016, background): “Zacharias & Wessolek (2007) developed a new PTF that forgoes the use of OC, assuming an indirect relation between the latter and bulk density as a predictor.”
Plant species richness and functional groups have different effects on soil water content in a decade‐long grassland experiment (2018, background): “…to favour aggregation and thus stabilize soil structure (Pérès et al., 2013; Tisdall & Oades, 1982), increase soil porosity (Regelink et al., 2015; Six, Paustian, Elliott, & Combrink, 2000; Zacharias & Wessolek, 2007), and soil hydraulic conductivity (Fischer et al., 2015; Franzluebbers, 2002).”
