History

Which outcome commonly resulted when pre-Columbian chinampa farmers unknowingly introduced excessive nutrients?

A)Increased soil salinity levels
B)Harmful algal bloom formation
C)Faster nitrogen fixation rates
D)Reduced water infiltration rates

💡 Explanation

Harmful algal blooms occurred because excess nutrients triggered rapid growth via the trophic cascade mechanism, depleting oxygen. Therefore, blooms arose, rather than other nutrient-related effects, because of the specific aquatic environment's response.
