← HistoryWhich outcome occurred when pre-Columbian chinampas lacked sufficient drainage during prolonged rainfall events?
A)Anaerobic soil conditions harming crops✓
B)Increased nitrogen fixation boosting yields
C)Reduced algae growth due to nutrient loss
D)Enhanced carbon sequestration within soil
💡 Explanation
When chinampas experience prolonged rainfall and insufficient drainage, waterlogging promotes anaerobic soil conditions because microbes deplete oxygen as they decompose organic matter. Therefore anaerobic conditions harm crops, rather than the alternatives, which require aerobic rich soil or nutrient flow.
