History

Which consequence resulted when limitations in chinampa drainage encountered high maize cultivation during seasonal rains?

A)Increased nitrogen fixation rates
B)Localized soil salinization events
C)Enhanced phosphorus availability
D)Decreased carbon sequestration rates

💡 Explanation

Soil salinization occurs because of capillary action coupled with poor drainage concentrates dissolved salts near the surface as water evaporates; therefore, intensive maize cultivation elevates water demand and thus salt buildup, rather than affecting nitrogen/phosphorus alone.
