← HistoryWhich outcome improved agricultural yields when pre-Columbian civilizations implemented chinampa construction?
A)Reduced frost risk via radiative barriers
B)Enhanced nutrient cycling via artificial ecosystem✓
C)Improved soil drainage via inclined topography
D)Lowered pest incidence due to crop rotation
💡 Explanation
When chinampas ('floating gardens') were constructed, enhanced-nutrient cycling from decomposing aquatic vegetation and waste occurred because of a self-contained artificial ecosystem, boosting soil fertility. Therefore enhanced nutrient cycling results rather than frost reduction, drainage, or pest management, which require different agricultural techniques.
