← HistoryWhich consequence results when pre-Columbian Andean terraces experience significant topsoil loss?
A)Decreased albedo, higher soil temperatures
B)Impaired drainage and waterlogging occurs
C)Reduced nutrient availability in matrix✓
D)Increased likelihood of shallow earthflow
💡 Explanation
Reduced nutrient availability results because erosion removes the most fertile layers, impacting fertility via nutrient cycle interruption; therefore crop yields decrease rather than altered albedo. Interception losses cause soil erosion.
