← HistoryWhich benefit arose due to the Aztec chinampa system's specific marshland cultivation practices?
A)Reduction in soil salinity through leaching
B)Increased albedo effects due to water surface
C)Enhanced soil fertility from decaying biomass✓
D)Decreased pest populations due to isolation
💡 Explanation
By cultivating in marshland using the chinampa system, the Aztecs directly incorporated decaying organic matter (aquatic weeds, muck) into the soil, augmenting nutrient content due to decomposition. Therefore, enhanced soil fertility results, rather than reduced soil salinity, increased albedo, or decreased pests which depend on different ecological factors.
