← HistoryWhich outcome arises from nitrogen depletion in pre-Columbian chinampa agricultural systems?
A)Increased susceptibility to soil salinization
B)Decreased crop resistance to fungal diseases
C)Reduced capacity for sustained maize yields✓
D)Enhanced proliferation of invasive aquatic weeds
💡 Explanation
When nitrogen is depleted, protein synthesis decreases because it is a vital element acquired by maize plants; this restricts crop growth, lowering overall biomass accumulation which drastically limits sustained productivity. Therefore reduced yields result, as opposed to salinization effects, disease susceptibility change, or weed proliferation which follow other pathways.
