Abstract

This investigation delves into the profound interplay between the e-commerce environment and the agricultural system while scrutinizing the intricate human-land coupling dynamics engendered by transformations within the agricultural domain. Focusing on the expansion of orchards in Pinghe County, a pivotal epicenter for Chinese sweet pomelo production, this study elucidates the reverberations of Rural E-commerce Environment Development on Orchard Expansion through the lens of Tele-coupling. In doing so, it unveils the nuanced tapestry of the human-land coupling associations latent within the evolutionary trajectory of the agricultural system amidst the blossoming information society. The findings underscore a symbiotic relationship between the augmentation of orchard acreage and the burgeoning rural e-commerce landscape, effectively propelling the economic prosperity of the agricultural system. Moreover, a tele-coupling phenomenon has emerged, underscoring the intricate web of interconnections binding the maturation of the rural e-commerce ecosystem with the proliferation of orchards. The research illuminates that the transformation of land utilization, imbricated within the agricultural system, manifests as a distinctive form of tele-coupling intricately woven into the fabric of urbanization and information technology advancements. Consequently, adopting a comprehensive theoretical perspective and amalgamating disparate domains across distinct geographic realms becomes imperative for discerning the intricate nuances of the human-land coupling nexus within these multifaceted, open systems.
