Which limit was historically faced when highland Andean terraces were utilized to maximize maize yield?

💡 Explanation

Available nitrogen becomes severely limited due to soil erosion via surface runoff: because the terraced land loses essential nitrates to plant growth through the mechanism of nutrient leaching, yields plateau. Therefore nitrogen depletion becomes a limiting nutritional constraint on maize yield, rather than other ecological stressors.
