← HistoryWhich outcome follows when chinampa agriculture faces decreased nutrient delivery?
A)Increased reliance on maize monoculture
B)Decline in maize crop yields✓
C)Rapid aquatic weed proliferation
D)Elevation of soil salinity levels
💡 Explanation
Reduced nutrient delivery causes diminished plant growth as maize requires nitrogen fixing; the principal mechanism is nutrient limitation. Crop biomass diminishes because essential building blocks are absent; therefore yields decline drastically rather than increase as other nutrient inputs stay constant.
