In Aztec chinampa agriculture, which risk increases when intensive year round cultivation depletes soil nutrients?

💡 Explanation

When intensive cultivation depletes soil, the nitrogen cycle is interrupted because the lack of organic matter reduces nitrogen fixation, leading to nitrogen deficiency and crop failure. Therefore crop failure results, rather than algae blooms, erosion, or methane release, which rely on different environmental conditions.
