← HistoryWhich constraint limited pre-Columbian chinampa agriculture, if the surrounding lake's nitrogen input significantly decreased over multiple decades?
A)Inadequate micro-nutrient supply✓
B)Catastrophic soil structure collapse
C)Decreased water availability
D)Rapid carbon mineralisation acceleration
💡 Explanation
Inadequate micro-nutrient supply becomes crucial, because the nitrogen reduction limits nutrient processing within the chinampa's ecosystem, thus decreasing overall fertilization quality; therefore, micro-nutrients become proportionally scarcer, rather than water levels or carbon cycle, as their effects are secondary.
