Which outcome occurs when excess evapotranspiration taxes pre-Columbian terrace agriculture in the Andes?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated soil nutrient depletion occurs because evapotranspiration surpasses precipitation, drawing salts to surface soils via capillary action; this accumulation results in reduced fertility in arid conditions, therefore diminished yields, rather than deposition, increased infiltration, or direct diversity loss.
