← HistoryWhich consequence results when the Aztec's *chinampa* system accumulates excessive organic material?
A)Increased methane production occurs
B)Reduced soil nutrient diffusion✓
C)Enhanced microbial nitrogen fixation
D)Elevated carbon dioxide sequestration
💡 Explanation
Decreased soil permeability occurs because accumulating excessive undecayed organic matter clogs the soil pores and reduces *diffusion*. This limits nutrient availability to plant roots; therefore, productivity declines in the chinampa rather than promoting plant growth.
