← HistoryIn Chinampa agriculture, which consequence arises from continuous organic matter deposition?
A)Increased resistance to soil erosion
B)Decreased overall structural substrate loading
C)Elevated cultivable soil surface levels✓
D)Impeded root penetration by soil consolidation
💡 Explanation
Elevation increases around the chinampa due to fluvial accumulation by the 'Vertical Accretion' mechanism in reclaimed soils. This raises the soil because more organic matter is added at an accelerated rate, therefore, the cultivable surface elevates above the water, rather than causing consolidation.
