← HistoryWhich long-term consequence occurred because of decreased soil aeration in chinampa agriculture?
A)Increased nitrous oxide production
B)Elevated methane gas emissions
C)Reduced crop nutrient uptake✓
D)Decreased microbial decomposition
💡 Explanation
Decreased aeration in chinampas inhibits aerobic root respiration, limiting active transport of nutrients via ionic pumps; therefore crop nutrient uptake is reduced, rather than the other options involving gas production or decomposition rate changes because diffusion limits change.
