← HistoryNear Tenochtitlan, which outcome arose when chinampas developed anaerobic conditions?
A)Increased carbon sequestration rate
B)Reduced plant disease incidence
C)Accumulation of phytotoxic compounds✓
D)Enhanced nitrogen mineralization processes
💡 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.
