Soils of the municipality Hocabá, Yucatán, México, were identified according to both Mayan farmers’ knowledge and World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB). To identify Maya soil classes, field descriptions made by farmers semistructured interviews utilized. WRB soils describing profiles analyzing samples in laboratory. based on topographic position surface properties such as colour amount rock fragments outcrops. Farmers distinguished two main groups soils: K'ankab or plains Boxlu’um...
Northern Yucatán is a dry tropical area where limestone karst terrain supports subdeciduous forest that critical for sustaining the local economy of Mayan people. The 5‐ to 10‐m‐deep vadose zone characterized by shallow soils (<30 cm thick) with frequent rock outcrops overlying bedrock, which contains aquifer. This has two important characteristics: (i) lithologic properties change depth and (ii) numerous dissolution cavities ranging from small pores caves, some them filled soil (soil...
El karst del estado de Yucatán, México, tiene su origen en los arrecifes coralinos y sedimentos marinos que, al exponerse a la superficie, formaron roca caliza. Los procesos solubilización-precipitación esta han promovido ausencia corrientes agua superficiales, un relieve ligeramente ondulado con planicies, depresiones montículos, afloramientos presencia cenotes. diferentes grados porosidad dureza permitido formación desde pequeñas oquedades acumulaciones suelo, hasta complejos sistemas...
Homegardens are reservoirs of genetic resources. When native plant populations compromised, traditional management homegardens can be an effective means conserving species and enhancing food security. Hylocereus undatus (dragonfruit) is a key in but rarely found wild the Yucatan. We analyzed practices diversity dragonfruit grown three climate regions (West, Central, East) state Yucatan, Mexico. Dragonfruit presence reproductive phenology were documented via 2,660 surveys applied seventeen...
