The ecosystem change will bring serious influences to the human society through changes in vegetation and agriculture etc, while the anthropogenic impact brings considerable changes to the ecosystem. We need to develop scientific studies on such interacting human and natural systems, and to make a farseeing scenario of their change based on a reliable understanding and prediction of ecosystem change. This Working Group 4 will discuss the interacting natural and human systems to enhance the link between natural and social sciences.
