← HistoryIn ancient chinampa agriculture, which outcome resulted from interweaving salix trees within maize plots?
A)Reduced wind erosion risk✓
B)Increased nitrogen fertilizer need
C)Decreased planting density limits
D)Enhanced soil drainage capabilities
💡 Explanation
Interweaving ‘Salix’ species reduces wind erosion because the mechanism of windbreak generation shelters maize, decreasing soil particle entrainment, therefore lessening agricultural topsoil loss rather than requiring fertilizers or affecting drainage.
