Which outcome directly results when chinampa agricultural systems experience prolonged seasonal flooding?

💡 Explanation

When chinampas flood for extended periods, increased water saturation leads to nutrient leaching because soluble minerals are washed away from the soil profile reducing fertility. Therefore nutrient depletion results, rather than enhanced yield, decreased disease or reduced silt deposition, which rely on controlled water levels and silt management.
