Which long-term ecosystem change occurs when terraces of pre-Columbian Andean agriculture experience soil erosion in raised fields?

💡 Explanation

Decreased carbon sequestration occurs because soil erosion reduces the land's capacity for photosynthetic carbon fixation, a process of CARBON CYCLE rather than enhanced growth in water purification; therefore, the area becomes less effective at retaining carbon, rather than alternatives.
