Which limitation constrained the productivity of Aztec chinampa agriculture systems, despite their innovative design?

💡 Explanation

Chinampas experienced decreased yields as continuous cultivation depleted soil nutrients since the natural replenishment was limited, resulting in nutrient depletion. Therefore nutrient depletion limited productivity, rather than livestock limitations, tool dependency or disease vulnerability, issues unrelated to the core chinampa design's constraints.
