← HistoryWhich resource limitation primarily reduces crop yield stability within ancient chinampa field systems?
A)Brackish water salinity increases✓
B)Nutrient leaching accelerates rapidly
C)Predator insect populations explode
D)Oxygenated mud compaction rates
💡 Explanation
Increased salinity reduces productivity because osmotic stress and plant ion imbalance lead to impaired growth; therefore, yields suffer, rather than from predation alone which is mitigated by diverse planting and localized ecosystems and is not water quality related.
