Which consequence results when terrace slope angles exceed soil stability limits in ancient hillside agriculture?

💡 Explanation

Nutrient depletion accelerates because increased slope steepness beyond the maximum angle of repose causes slope failures and surface runoff, thereby triggering soil erosion and consequent nutrient loss; therefore nutrient depletion, rather than stability,occurs.
