← HistoryWhich property determined yield limits as intensive 15th century chinampa farming expanded in Mesoamerica?
A)Nitrogen supply within canal sediment✓
B)Availability of obsidian tools per farmer
C)Rainfall levels reaching elevated beds
D)Market demand within urban territories
💡 Explanation
As chinampa farming expanded, nitrogen availability in the canal sediment became the primary limiting factor, because it was essential for plant growth and not easily replenished. Therefore, nitrogen controlled yields rather than tools, rainfall, or market forces which influenced feasibility differently without direct impact over crops' N supply.
