Which consequence emerged as increased nutrients runoff impacted terrace farming?

💡 Explanation

Concentration of sediments causes nutrient depletion downslope of terraces through sheet erosion, accelerating soil degradation through diminished soil fertility. Nutrients are carried away downhill rather than becoming evenly distributed, because terraces lost stability, therefore soil fertility is lost.
