← HistoryWhich outcome occurred when terraced agricultural systems lacked proper maintenance?
A)Increased sediment landslide occurrence✓
B)Enhanced maize genetic diversity
C)Improved water infiltration rates
D)Decreased topsoil nutrient leaching
💡 Explanation
Increased sediment landslide occurrence resulted from the loss of slope stabilization since the mechanism of terracing relies on vegetation and soil compaction to restrain erosion by shear strength, therefore landslides increase, rather than the system properly maintaining soil integrity.
