Which long-term change in maize harvesting arises given widespread pre-Columbian chinampa agriculture employing minimal tillage?

💡 Explanation

Reduced tillage on chinampas promotes local adaptation, therefore increasing similarity, due to minimized gene flow, rather than promoting soil erosion. Genetic drift via founder effect is the mechanism here; this happens because of localized seed saving.
