History

Which 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.
