← HistoryWhich limitation constrained the productivity of Aztec chinampa agriculture systems, despite their innovative design?
A)Nutrient depletion after repeated harvests✓
B)Inability to support large-scale livestock
C)Reliance on advanced metal tools
D)Vulnerability to insect-borne diseases
💡 Explanation
Chinampas experienced decreased yields as continuous cultivation depleted soil nutrients since the natural replenishment was limited, resulting in nutrient depletion. Therefore nutrient depletion limited productivity, rather than livestock limitations, tool dependency or disease vulnerability, issues unrelated to the core chinampa design's constraints.
