Which consequence results when pre-Columbian Andean terraces experience significant topsoil loss?

💡 Explanation

Reduced nutrient availability results because erosion removes the most fertile layers, impacting fertility via nutrient cycle interruption; therefore crop yields decrease rather than altered albedo. Interception losses cause soil erosion.
