← HistoryWhich outcome occurred more rapidly when pre-Columbian chinampas lacked proper maintenance?
A)Widespread soil salinization develops
B)Anaerobic decomposition overwhelms roots✓
C)Accelerated terrace collapse ensues
D)Nitrogen fixation abruptly diminishes
💡 Explanation
When maintenance ceased on the chinampas, waterlogged conditions increased, resulting in anaerobic decomposition because available oxygen was consumed; therefore, roots quickly suffocated rather than thriving in a balanced ecosystem like maintained chinampas.
