Threshold effects of cultivated land expansion in agro-pastoral ecotones: non-linear amplification of drought vulnerability and composite disaster risk
As climate change accelerates, ecologically fragile regions are increasingly exposed to compound extremes. Agricultural intensification may perturb land–atmosphere feedback processes and exacerbate drought–heatwave coupling, yet the land-use thresholds governing non-linear risk amplification remain poorly constrained....
