4. How did the Maya create farmland in their Rainforest climate?

3 answers

The Maya used a technique called slash-and-burn agriculture to create farmland in their Rainforest climate. They cleared small patches of land by cutting down trees and then burned the vegetation. This process released nutrients into the soil and created a temporary fertile area for farming. After several years of cultivation, when the soil became less fertile, the Maya moved on to a new area and repeated the process. This allowed them to sustain agriculture in the rainforest environment.
