| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is becoming important for ecosystem management to be based on scientific evidence and theory. Here we have shown that climate change and land-use change have interactive effects, thus complicating issues of environmental changes and biodiversity crisis. To face such uncertainties, it is important to have spatially-explicit scenarios, which could be useful for active management intervention aimed at restoring and conserving ecological communities and ecosystem functions/services they provide.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
人間社会が必要とする生態系サービスの多くが生物多様性により支えられている。本研究課題では、人為的な温暖化や土地改変といった脅威にある生態系において、積極的な人為介入を含めた科学的知に基づく生態系管理により、生態系の有する多様性と機能性を保全することの重要性を示した。
