← HistoryWhich environmental outcome accelerated the decline of the Mayan agricultural system?
A)Declining rainwater collection efficiency
B)Decreased nitrogen fixation levels
C)Accelerated topsoil erosion rates✓
D)Decreased sunlight hours per cycle

Deforestation to create farmland induced increased `soil erosion` because the forest's ground cover and root systems were diminished, therefore accelerating habitat soil loss rather than maintaining its stability under adverse climatic conditions because the wind and precipitation would degrade soil structure.
