Which outcome results from unchecked silting within ancient chinampa agricultural systems?

💡 Explanation

Increased flood vulnerability follows from reduced drainage capacity. The mechanism is reduced water flow because silting obstructs canal networks rather than allowing for improved aeration, therefore resulting in standing floodwater, rather than temperature regulation or increased soil mineral deposits.
