Which agricultural decline occurs if excessive azolla is introduced unintentionally to pre-Columbian chinampas?

💡 Explanation

Hypoxia occurs because azolla overgrowth quickly covers chinampas water surfaces, thereby limiting atmospheric oxygen diffusion into the water creating a lower-oxygen aquatic biomes and suffocating the lower level maize roots, rather than increasing nitrogen fixation or nutrient up-take.
