Automated Agronomic Diagnosis

Critical Hazard: High slope combined with deep tillage and sub-0.20 NDVI induces acute rill erosion and rapid topsoil stripping.

Soil Biological Collapse: Soil Organic Carbon depleted below critical 0.5% threshold. Microbial respiration and mycorrhizal networks disrupted.
