← HistoryWhich consequence results when pre-Columbian maize suffers blight?
A)Soil nitrogen depletion accelerates rapidly
B)Chinampa system fertility declines sharply✓
C)Terrace structural integrity weakens
D)Aquatic weed growth severely intensifies
💡 Explanation
Declining maize yields in chinampas reduce organic matter input, leading to nitrogen scarcity because microbial mineralization decreases. This reduces system fertility; therefore, chinampas become less productive rather than directly affecting the processes on soil, terraces, or aquatic plant growth.
