← HistoryWhich eventual consequence occurred as the Floating Chinampa gardens of Tenochtitlan experienced increased urban crop demand?
A)Increased anaerobic decomposition methane release✓
B)Enhanced biodiversity insect propagation
C)Decreased soil erosion water contamination
D)Reduced fertilizer needs nitrogen regulation
💡 Explanation
Increased organic matter produced under limited aeration caused increased anaerobic decomposition of the chinampa soils within the lake system; therefore, heightened methane fluxes resulted, rather than enhanced biodiversity, because oxygen levels decreased due to excess decomposition.
