Which effect resulted from slash-and-burn agriculture failing in deforested Mayan lowlands around 800 AD?

💡 Explanation

When slash-and-burn agriculture stripped the deforested Mayan lowlands, altered soil albedo occurred because of decreased vegetation cover and exposed soil led to increased solar radiation absorption which further increased temperatures and drought conditions. Therefore altered soil albedo increasing regional temperatures is the outcome, rather than increased CO2 sequestration, enhanced biodiversity or reduced water runoff which require the presence of healthy forests.
