In pre-Columbian chinampa agriculture, which outcome occurred if the plant density became exceptionally high?

💡 Explanation

High plant density on chinampas caused reduced photosynthesis efficiency because of light competition, therefore the yield decreased, rather than increased crop production, as sufficient sunlight is physically blocked.
