Which outcome would result from increased terrace construction causing diminished shallow topsoil?

💡 Explanation

Decreased shallow topsoil will lead to diminished agricultural yield, because nutrient availability becomes limited; this triggers nutrient depletion. Therefore, plants struggle to grow in depleted soil, which limits crop production, rather than enhance other potentially improving effects.
