← HistoryWhich outcome most directly results as water evaporates off of Aztec chinampas?
A)Increased soil salt concentration✓
B)Decreased nutrient availability
C)Slower root development rates
D)Greater pest susceptibility occur
💡 Explanation
As irrigation water rises through the soil profile and evapotranspires, increased capillary action deposits mineral salts, a process known as salinization. Elevated salt concentrations hinder crop production because they impose osmotic stress on plant roots, therefore soil salinity will rise rather than other limitations.
