History

Which benefit results from the practice of regularly 'silt-layering' in chinampa agriculture?

A)Nutrient replenishment from lake sediments
B)Pest reduction through thermal treatment
C)Erosion control from root entanglement
D)Water purification using aquatic plants

💡 Explanation

When new silt is added, nutrient replenishment occurs because chinampas use lake sediments for fertility leading to sustained high yields. Therefore nutrient replenishment from lake sediments results, rather than pest reduction, erosion control, or water purification, which operate via completely different mechanisms.
