Which agricultural modification enhances soil aeration in pre-Columbian chinampa cultivation?

💡 Explanation

When chinampa plots face nutrient depletion, periodic sediment redistribution from surrounding canals occurs, introducing fresh organic matter and creating macropores as the sediment settles, increasing soil aeration. Therefore aeration is enhanced, rather than suppressed when terraces are constructed or flooded with irrigation.
