Which feedback consequence occurs when terraces experience severe over-cultivation?

💡 Explanation

When terraces face severe over-cultivation, soil COMPACTION occurs, limiting permeability. This REDUCES the rate of water infiltration through the soil, because compacted soil has smaller pore spaces. Therefore, filtration diminishes, rather than alternatives like salinity increases without proper irrigation.
