Near Tenochtitlan, which outcome arose when chinampas developed anaerobic conditions?

💡 Explanation

Anaerobic conditions within chinampas triggered the mechanism of anaerobic decomposition. This process produced phytotoxic substances harmful to crops, because decomposition occurred without oxygen; therefore plant growth inhibition ensues, rather than healthy soil microbiology.
