Which outcome increased significantly within Incan terrace agriculture when extensive, improperly maintained terracing blocked waterways controlling runoff?

💡 Explanation

Increased soil salinization resulted because capillary action brought salts to the surface where the accumulating salts desiccated the soil; reduced soil permeability caused waterlogging therefore salinization rather than enhanced conditions for nitrogen fixation or pathogen resistance.
