← HistoryWhich issue resulted when early chinampa agriculture over-extended canals?
A)Increased anaerobic soil acidification.✓
B)Decreased aquifer hydraulic head.
C)Reduced windbreak erosion efficacy.
D)Enhanced nitrogen fixation rates.
💡 Explanation
Anaerobic acidification prevailed because stagnant water promoted **sulfate reduction**, therefore generating sulfuric acid that lowered the pH. This occurred rather than nitrogen increase (requiring oxygen) nor windbreak effects that depend on a drier landscape.
