100% correct thanks

was one method the Mayans used to prepare their fields for planting. This involved cutting down trees and underbrush in a plot of land, burning the vegetation, and using the ash to fertilize the soil. They would then plant their crops in the nutrient-rich soil and continue to fertilize it with organic matter. This allowed them to sustain agriculture in the same area for multiple growing seasons.
