← HistoryWhich effect decreased chinampa agricultural productivity when excessive lake level rose in Tenochtitlan?
A)Nitrogen depletion from soil leaching✓
B)Increased CO2 absorption rates in plants
C)Enhanced mineralization from higher salinity
D)Amplified micro-organism proliferation due flooding
💡 Explanation
Excessive lake level rise causes soil leaching because rising water displace nutrients. This depletes vital elements like nitrogen, impacting plant growth. Therefore, nitrogen depletion reduces productivity, rather than increased CO2, enhanced mineralization, or microorganism proliferation without soil saturation.
