← HistoryWhich outcome weakens ancient South American terraced farming?
A)Decline in crop nutrient cycling✓
B)Increased predator insect populations
C)Enhanced surface water evaporation
D)Decreased diurnal air temperature range
💡 Explanation
A lack of crop rotation decreases agricultural yields because continuous cultivation depletes the soil nutrient levels through the mechanism of nutrient leaching, therefore plant growth is inhibited and the terrace system is weaker rather than retaining higher yields with constant planting.
