← HistoryWhich process allows Andean terrace systems to prevent nutrient depletion during intensive farming?
A)Sequential crop rotation of nitrogen fixers✓
B)Application of synthetic Haber-Bosch fertilizers
C)Irrigation using diverted glacial meltwater
D)Terrace construction impeding soil erosion
💡 Explanation
When implementing intensive farming within terraces, sequential crop rotation occurs because alternating nitrogen-fixing plants replenish soil nitrogen stocks, negating depletion. Therefore crop sequences is key, rather than Haber-Bosch fertilizers, glacial meltwater, or construction techniques which address different environmental limitations.
