- Technology and local wisdom: The Maya soil classification app David J. Palma-López Francisco Bautista Ciencias de la Tierra Yucatán soil classes Ethnopedology Soil knowledge Maya knowledge The Maya knowledge of soils has overcome the mistrust of soil scientist towards local and indigenous knowledge because it is a classification system with hierarchically organized concepts. With the aim of popularizing and improving Maya soil knowledge, we developed the Maya soil classification app. The app includes the description of Maya soil classes and of three Maya ecological terms (Petén, Kankabal, and A’kalche’) that associate the physical and biotic environments. The app includes photographs of soil profiles with their corresponding Maya terms and international classifications, along with a Maya soil classification map of the Mexican state of Yucatán showing the geographical location of Maya soil classes. Trough GPS services, the user can identify in the app the associations within local Maya soil classes. In this article we describe the structure and function of the app. 2019 artículo científico 1405-3322 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=94362592003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/943/94362592003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/943/94362592003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/943/94362592003/94362592003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/943/94362592003/movil 10.18268/BSGM2019v71n2a2 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=943 Boletín de la Sociedad Geológica Mexicana application/pdf Sociedad Geológica Mexicana, A.C.
