Which consequence occurs as pre-Columbian chinampa systems experienced gradual sedimentation?

💡 Explanation

Gradual sedimentation compacts the lowest strata, leading to anaerobic decay slowing decomposition rates; because oxygen diminishes, anaerobic bacteria dominate, creating methane rather than CO2. Therefore, methane production increases, rather than oxygen production via leaching.
