History

Which consequence resulted when the Inca irrigation terraces experienced poorly managed drainage?

A)Reduced root zone oxygenation
B)Increased surface water evaporation
C)Improved nutrient uptake efficiency
D)Decreased soil microbial activity

💡 Explanation

Waterlogging occurs due to inadequate drainage, causing reduced root zone oxygenation because downward percolation decreases; plant stress therefore increases, rather than enhanced nutrient supply, which would require aerobic microbial activity.
