Which outcome limited rice terrace scalability circa 1500 AD?

💡 Explanation

Erosion limited terrace scalability primarily because soil creep removed topsoil progressively; it caused a reduction in the depth of arable land, and therefore constrained crop production rather than allowing sustained harvests, because of inherent instability.
