← HistoryWhich outcome reduces crop yield when excessive agricultural terracing interrupts hydraulic behaviour during Inca agriculture?
A)Waterlogging and anaerobic soil✓
B)Nutrient homogeneity across terraces
C)Decreased albedo-driven soil temperature
D)Enhanced mineral weathering rates
💡 Explanation
Waterlogging from interrupted hydraulic behaviour results in anaerobic soil because aeration cannot occur; therefore, crop yields decrease due to root suffocation rather than increased nutrient distribution or temperature effects occurring.
