| 英文摘要 | In the Anthropocene, the expansion of urban and rural settlements has become a key driver altering the terrestrial surface, yet the latent ecological risks triggered by its multi-order propagation remain systematically underexplored. Therefore, drawing upon the theories of human-environment areal systems, telecoupling, and land-use spillovers, this paper proposes the concept of cascading coupling. This concept aims to dissect the underlying processes of impact transmission, shifting the research focus from the linkages between origins and endpoints to an analysis of the entire causal chain. We construct a dual-scale macro-micro theoretical mechanism to understand cascading coupling: at the macro level, external shocks are transmitted across systems through multi-order coupling relationships; at the micro level, this macro-process is underpinned by the cascading state transitions of individual units within systems. This process is manifested as urban and rural settlements-driven by population dynamics, economic factors, transport networks, and policies-encroach upon natural lands and croplands, propagating multi-order ecological effects through multiple pathways such as changes in spatial structure, neighborhood spillover effects, and distant land displacement. This process exhibits four fundamental characteristics: multi-level property, transboundary nature, time-lags, and latency. Future research should apply this theoretical framework to focus on urban-rural disparities to precisely delineate propagation pathways, develop dynamic simulation methods to overcome the challenges of time-lags and uncertainties, and construct nested local-to-global paradigms to address cross-scale challenges, thereby providing new theoretical perspectives and methodological support for resolving human-environment conflicts. |
