← HistoryWhich agricultural outcome results when post-harvest maize is stacked too densely during storage in a pre-Columbian raised-bed (chinampa) system?
A)Enhances nitrogen fixation in soils
B)Increases vulnerability to fungal proliferation✓
C)Reduces the risk of rodent predation
D)Promotes optimal seed germination rates
💡 Explanation
Fungal proliferation worsens because high-density stacking reduces airflow, increasing humidity; thus, the elevated moisture facilitates fungal growth via decomposition, rather than enhanced predator avoidance or direct effects on soil conditions.
