← HistoryWhich outcome rapidly reduced soil fertility during early chinampa cultivation?
A)Salinization from constant evapotranspiration✓
B)Compaction via extensive foot traffic
C)Leaching due to improper root structures
D)Waterlogging by heavy seasonal rainfall
💡 Explanation
Salinization quickly depleted early chinampa soils because capillary action drew salts to the surface; increased evapotranspiration then caused the Accumulation Mechanism. Therefore, crop supports failed and were overtaken, rather than flourishing with adequate drainage or aeration.
