While constructing chinampas, extensive reed decay risks which outcome?

💡 Explanation

Reduced structural soil cohesion occurs because insufficient decomposition slows the **root reinforcement mechanism**, weakening the chinampa's structure by reducing resistance to erosion; therefore structural integrity suffers, rather than thermal or pressurized inefficiencies.
