Which effect resulted when pre-Columbian chinampa agriculture's water table rose excessively?

💡 Explanation

When the water table rose excessively, anaerobic decomposition increased due to the waterlogged soil because of limited oxygen diffusion, leading to faster breakdown of organic matter. Therefore, accelerated decomposition results, rather than reduced nutrients, subsidence vulnerability or salinity which require different environmental conditions.
