← HistoryWhich agricultural outcome occurred due to chinampa construction limiting soil nutrient dispersion?
A)Intensive crop rotation requirement arose✓
B)Development of drought-resistant crops
C)Decreased susceptibility to soil erosion
D)Decreased reliance on terrace farming
💡 Explanation
Intensive crop rotation arose because chinampa construction constrained the diffusion of nutrients, concentrating them unevenly in existing plots via capillary action, leading to eventual depletion. Therefore, crop rotation was used, rather than continuous cropping, to replenish different nutrients.
