← HistoryWhich limitation increased risk during intensive chinampa farming?
A)Brackish water salinization decreasing yields✓
B)Loss of terraces to landslides
C)Depleted soil lacks vital nutrients
D)Pest infestations from monoculture crops
💡 Explanation
Aquatic agriculture used chinampas involving canals; extensive irrigation led to upward salt migration via capillary action causing salinization. This decreased yields because increased salinity inhibits water uptake, therefore affecting crop growth rather than fertility declines or slope failures.
