← HistoryWhich outcome occurred when early Mesoamerican chinampa farmers densely cultivated maize crops without crop rotation?
A)Soil salinization due to rising water table
B)Nitrogen depletion leading to yield decline✓
C)Increased resistance to common parasites
D)Reduced biodiversity due to monoculture
💡 Explanation
When Chinampa farmers cultivated Maize densely without rotation, nitrogen depletion occurred because Maize is a heavy nitrogen feeder, leading to an imbalance of nutrients in the soil. Therefore, nitrogen related yield decline results rather than salinization, resistance, or monoculture, which depend on different agricultural practices.
