Which risk markedly increases in the Chinampa agricultural system if the water table drops significantly during annual cultivation cycles?

💡 Explanation

The reduction in soil nutrient transport occurs because capillary action in Chinampas delivers nutrients. This mechanism is limited by water table height; therefore, diminished water table height restricts nutrient flow rather than promoting erosion, pests, or sedimentation.
