Which outcome arises when chinampa farmers overload plots beyond sustainable capacity?

💡 Explanation

When plots are overloaded, increased demand leads to faster nutrient extraction, causing soil nutrient depletion because the rate of removal surpasses replenishment. Therefore accelerated nutrient depletion results, as opposed to recharge, biodiversity, or water quality improvements, all stemming from sustainable resource management instead.
