← HistoryWhich eventual consequence occurred as the Floating Chinampa gardens of Tenochtitlan experienced increased urban crop demand?
A)Increased anaerobic decomposition methane release✓
B)Enhanced biodiversity insect propagation
C)Decreased soil erosion water contamination
D)Reduced fertilizer needs nitrogen regulation

Increased organic matter produced under limited aeration caused increased anaerobic decomposition of the chinampa soils within the lake system; therefore, heightened methane fluxes resulted, rather than enhanced biodiversity, because oxygen levels decreased due to excess decomposition.
