Which consequence results when water management erodes hillside terraces in traditional Andean agriculture?

💡 Explanation

Increased downstream sediment load occurs because soil destabilization causes increased erosion volume, resulting in mass wasting rather than retention. Therefore, sediment plume size will increase rather than the plant-mediated nitrogen cycle due to hillside terracing collapse.
