← HistoryWhich constraint primarily limited chinampa (floating garden) development in pre-Columbian Central Mexico?
A)Limited available aquatic plant biomass✓
B)Restricted nutrient cycling efficiency
C)Lack of suitable soil amendment
D)Constant risk of excessive flooding
💡 Explanation
Chinampas relied on dredging nutrient-rich sediment from the lakebed; depletion of aquatic plant biomass induced nutrient limitation, restricting development through decreased sediment replenishment that promoted soil fertility, rather than soil quality or flooding challenges.
