History

Which agricultural risk increased as chinampa farming intensified within the Aztec Triple Alliance?

A)Topsoil depletion via nutrient runoff
B)Pest susceptibility from monoculture spread
C)Waterlogging due to controlled flooding
D)Erosion from intensive terrace construction

💡 Explanation

As chinampa farming intensified, the reliance on maize monoculture increased because of its high yield and ease of cultivation, which in turn increased the crop's susceptibility to widespread pest infestations. Therefore, increased pest susceptibility results, rather than topsoil depletion, waterlogging, or erosion, which are related to different causes.
