History

Which risk increases when long-fallow crop rotation on pre-Columbian chinampa (raised bed) agriculture lacks consistent organic replenishment?

A)Accelerated soil salinization occurs
B)Catastrophic dike subsidence develops
C)Increased anaerobic decomposition arises
D)Nutrient depletion intensifies

💡 Explanation

Nutrient depletion intensifies because the mechanism of nutrient cycling via decomposition of added organic matter is reduced. The soil's natural reserves are steadily removed and none are put back; therefore, the problem magnifies rather than stabilizes, and the plants effectively starve.
