Yea you are correct about it this. There have been very many incredible examples of land engineering and cultivation of the land all through out the ancient world in South America.

The part of the article that I disagree with is that this had anything to do with what killed off the Mayan civilization. The end of something more advanced into something more barbaric and uncivilized is mysterious but it is obvious that it happened. But no one knows how or why as of yet.

“Their deliberate conservation practices can be observed in the wood they used for construction and this observation is reinforced by the pollen record.”

I think whales and seals did this first though. Followed by Mayas, then Incas, Aztecs, Egyptians, Zulu... Then homosexuals, then feminists. Then people of color. Then Eskimoes and Native Americans. Then the white man came and killed them all and raped their children and ate their food, stole their resources and poisoned mother earth. Now honkeywhiteycrackers are warming the whole globe with global warming.

I think you must have read to many NEA-produced textbooks, or maybe, you are a texctbook writer yourself! .
