Abstract

Environmental vulnerability, distinct from climatic vulnerability, is significantly shaped by human–environment interactions. Agroforestry systems in karst desertification areas are key components in sustaining crop production, livelihoods, and ecological restoration. However, the feedback mechanisms that influence their vulnerability and resilience remain understudied.
