History

Which outcome resulted from intensive chinampa farming practices around Tenochtitlan, 14th-16th centuries?

A)Localized temperature decrease from irrigation
B)Leaching diminished the aquifer salinity
C)Methane emission from organic matter decay
D)Declining soil fertility from nutrient depletion

💡 Explanation

Intensive chinampa farming submerged high concentrations of organic matter, anaerobically decomposing, triggering methane generation. Therefore methane emission resulted, as anaerobic decomposition dominated, rather than temperature decrease, aquifer desalination, or fertility decline which require different environmental/farming conditions.
