← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when chinampa agriculture experiences prolonged flooding above the root zone?
A)Decreased soil nutrient uptake✓
B)Increased maize stalk strength
C)Accelerated nitrogen fixation rates
D)Enhanced thermal buffering capacity
💡 Explanation
When chinampa agriculture faces prolonged flooding, anaerobic conditions arise because the water prevents oxygen diffusion into the soil, hindering root respiration and nutrient uptake. Therefore, decreased soil nutrient uptake results, rather than stalk strengthening, nitrogen fixation or buffer capacity, which require different biological or physical mechanisms.
