History

Which obstacle became significant during Aztec chinampa expansion?

A)Nutrient Depletion
B)Saltwater Intrusion
C)Labor Shortages
D)Topsoil Erosion

💡 Explanation

Brackish water exposure increased following extensive modifications of the Xochimilco lake system. Saltwater intrusion causes osmotic stress, limiting plant water absorption, because osmotic pressure rises significantly; therefore, some chinampas became unproductive rather than supporting intensive agriculture.
