Which environmental risk increased with development constraints on Aztec chinampa cultivation expansions?

💡 Explanation

When chinampa expansion was constrained, intensive farming led to increased evaporation and reduced freshwater inflow, leading to higher salt concentrations that accumulated through capillary action. Therefore, soil salinization risk elevated, rather than disease, reduced biodiversity or volcano impact, which relate to unrelated processes.
