History

Which outcome occurred when early Mesoamerican chinampa farmers densely cultivated maize crops without crop rotation?

A)Soil salinization due to rising water table
B)Nitrogen depletion leading to yield decline
C)Increased resistance to common parasites
D)Reduced biodiversity due to monoculture

💡 Explanation

When Chinampa farmers cultivated Maize densely without rotation, nitrogen depletion occurred because Maize is a heavy nitrogen feeder, leading to an imbalance of nutrients in the soil. Therefore, nitrogen related yield decline results rather than salinization, resistance, or monoculture, which depend on different agricultural practices.
