Gradual population decline over several centuries has not been associated with the end of Teotihuacán. The most commonly suggested causes of Teotihuacán's decline include environmental factors such as drought, erosion of agricultural lands, and deforestation, as well as sociopolitical factors such as overpopulation, resource depletion, class conflict, and invasion or migration of neighboring groups. Nutritional stress and disease, burning in the ritual precinct, high infant mortality, and dismemberment of members of the nobility have all been suggested as possible contributing factors to the collapse of Teotihuacán.
