Which risk increases when irrigation channels supplying Aztec chinampas become choked with sediment and algae?

💡 Explanation

When channels become blocked, nutrient flow decreases because reduced water circulation limits nutrient replenishment in the chinampa soil, hindering maize cultivation. Therefore nutrient depletion increases, rather than albedo changes, structural collapse, or salt accumulation, which involve different mechanisms specific to different conditions.
