← HistoryWhich risk increases when terrace irrigation in arid regions promotes mineral precipitation?
A)Decreased soil permeability overall✓
B)Increased dissolved ion migration
C)Enhanced nutrient uptake efficiency
D)Reduced evapotranspiration losses
💡 Explanation
Calcium carbonate precipitation can clog soil pores on the terraces due to the common ion effect. Because this reduces the `hydraulic conductivity` of the soil, therefore water infiltration decreases, rather than ions migrating or nutrients improving.
