← HistoryWhich outcome resulted from the controlled flooding of chinampas agricultural systems?
A)Increased soil salinity through evaporation
B)Enhanced nutrient deposition from sediment✓
C)Decreased plant growth due to waterlogging
D)Erosion of chinampa edges by wave action
💡 Explanation
When flooding chinampas, increased nutrient deposition occurred because sediment from lake beds was introduced, enriching the soil fertility, leading to higher crop yields. Therefore enhanced nutrient deposition results, rather than salinity, waterlogging, or erosion which have opposite environmental requirements.
