How does planting of willow trees make the Aztecs' more stable?
The willow trees didn't make the Aztecs more stable, they stabilized the Aztecs' capital of Tenochtitlan, made up of one small island and several floating islands in Lake Texcoco (now mostly dried up, but it was in the middle of present-day Mexico city).These islands were the only land held by the original Aztecs, who migrated down from northern Mexico during a long drought. The Aztecs were fierce fighters, but originally didn't hold any land around the lake, it was held by three other tribes. Together these tribes could easily have defeated and eliminated the Aztecs, who were essentially living in a marsh, but they were always warring with each other. The Aztecs cleverly switched allegiance, always allying themselves with whichever tribe was outnumbered. Little by little, they became dominant, and eventually defeated all the other tribes, and by the time Cortez arrived, the Aztecs controlled most of Mexico.However, to start with, they needed land to grow crops, and there was very little marshy land in the lake. Here is a description of what they did to survive, from the "Farming" page of Aztec.com:The city of Tenochtitlan was built on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco. They needed good farming practices to support their large population. The Aztecs devised irrigation systems, built terraces on nearby hillsides, and used fertilizers to increase useage of the soil.Since they needed more farmland and there was none on the island, the Aztecs created farmland with a new agricultural technique that was called chinampas or floating gardens. These manmade islands were from large woven reed mats that were piled with rich earth from the bottom of the lake. The mud was rich in minerals and ideal for growing crops. Fast growing willow trees were planted so the root systems would grow to the bottom and anchor the islands. The islands were planted with crops that produced large amounts of food. They grew tomatoes, avocados, squash, chili peppers, flowers and corn which was their principal crop."
