Which agricultural consequence resulted from repeated maize cultivation on chinampas without nutrient replenishment?

💡 Explanation

When maize harvests removed phosphorus, phosphorus depletion limits plant growth because phosphorus is a vital nutrient for ATP production, gene synthesis, and photosynthesis. Therefore, reduced yields resulted, rather than nitrogen fixation, groundwater salinization, or acidification which each occur via separate biogeochemical processes.
