The study aimed to see if citizen scientists could identify soil types using simple observations and a smartphone app. They compared soil properties from soil samples to a database of known soil types. They found that even basic observations like soil texture and color were enough to identify soil types accurately. Adding more detailed information like pH and organic matter didn't improve accuracy much. Different ways of representing soil depth didn't have a big impact on the results. Overall, the study showed that simple soil observations can be used effectively by non-experts to identify soil types for sustainable soil management.
