Which outcome can occur when improperly irrigating tiered Aztec chinampas?

A)Increased mineral leaching from soils
B)Enhanced carbon fixation in biomass
C)Improved nitrogen assimilation by crops
D)Decreased evapotranspiration from foliage

💡 Explanation

Increased mineral leaching results because of differential water pressure, activating a hydraulic gradient that accelerates solute transport. Therefore soil fertility reduces, rather than enhancing carbon fixation, or improving evaporation because water is unevenly distributed on tiers.
