Which outcome follows diminished andean hillside terracing stability?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated topsoil loss results mostly from insufficient terracing to reduce runoff. The mechanism of action is soil erosion, because the terraces no longer effectively retain soil and water; therefore increased erosion, rather than enhanced yield or infiltration occurs.
