Which outcome arises when traditional chinampa systems experience prolonged, elevated flooding during the rainy season?

💡 Explanation

When chinampas undergo extended flooding, nutrient leaching occurs because excessive water mobilizes soluble minerals from the topsoil layer, washing them away. Therefore topsoil loss results, contrary to benefits associated with moderate water or pest/compaction control which require balanced hydrological conditions.
