This workshop will consider how two complex ecosystems function, in particular how they fluctuate in response to change, and how interactions between these systems vary over time as a result of such fluctuations in the individual systems. The systems to be addressed will be (1) high-latitude forest/river ecosystems and (2) coastal upwelling systems. Interactions between these systems and arid zones will also be examined on a preliminary basis. The workshop will focus on regions where these systems exist along the west coasts of North and South America. Preliminary comparisons will also be made with analogous ecosystems in the Southwest Pacific. The primary system functions to be analyzed will be biodiversity and biogeochemistry. Special attention will be paid to human impact on these functions, as well as on the overall ecosystems. The results of the workshop will provide input to ongoing development of a scientific agenda for the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI).

本次研讨会将讨论两个复杂的生态系统如何运作， 特别是它们如何随着变化而波动， 这些系统之间的相互作用随着时间的推移而变化， 这种波动在各个系统中。 系统将 将涉及（1）高纬度森林/河流生态系统和（2） 海岸上升流系统 这些系统之间的相互作用， 还将对干旱区进行初步审查。 的 讲习班将侧重于沿着存在这些系统的区域， 北美洲和南美洲的西海岸。 初步比较 也将在西南部的类似生态系统中进行 太平洋是如此 要分析的主要系统功能包括 生物多样性和地球化学。 将特别注意 人类对这些功能的影响，以及对整个 生态系统 研讨会的成果将为以下方面提供投入： 正在制定美洲国家科学议程 全球变化研究所（IAI）。
