History

Which 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.
