Which agricultural outcome resulted from terraced hillside cultivation in the Andes?

💡 Explanation

Terracing creates level platforms, which modify local airflow restricting wind and increasing absorbed solar radiation leading to enhanced microclimate temperature stability compared to bare hillsides. Therefore stable microclimate results, rather than erosion, biodiversity loss or reduced infiltration often seen without terracing.
