← HistoryWhich consequence resulted when early Aztec terrace-farming over-intensified?
A)Brittle maize stalk fracturing increased
B)Nitrogen fixation bacteria proliferation declined
C)Anaerobic decomposition byproducts increased✓
D)Pathogenic seed fungi contamination spread
💡 Explanation
Increased frequency of irrigation leads to soil saturation and triggers anaerobic decomposition, because the water displaces oxygen. This production raises byproduct concentration; therefore, maize root health decreases rather than benefiting from added water, nutrients depleting by imbalances.
