Which constraint increased for 14th-century Aztec chinampa farmers planting seedbeds?

💡 Explanation

Reduced load-bearing capability (compaction) constrained Aztec chinampas because increased agricultural activity placed greater mass upon the hydro-soil foundations which underwent differential settlement, decreasing capacity; therefore rebuilding soil platforms resulted rather than sustaining prior loads indefinitely.
