← HistoryWhich outcome arises when chinampa farmers experience prolonged waterlogging during maize cultivation?
A)Increased anaerobic decomposition, inhibiting root uptake✓
B)Increased soil fertility from added silt
C)Optimal conditions for rapid plant growth
D)Reduced risk of pest infestations
💡 Explanation
Waterlogging promotes anaerobic conditions; therefore, increased anaerobic decomposition occurs because of reduced available oxygen affecting microbial activity; rather than higher fertility, the anoxic conditions inhibit nutrient uptake.
