      abstract     = {Scaling is a naturally iterative and bi-directional
                      component of problem solving in ecology and in climate
                      science. Ecosystems and climate systems are unquestionably
                      the sum of all their parts, to the smallest imaginable
                      scale, in genomic processes or in the laws of fluid
                      dynamics. However, in the process of scaling-up, for
                      practical purposes thewhole usually has to be construed as a
                      good deal less than this. This essay demonstrates how
                      controlled large-scale experiments can be used to deduce key
                      mechanisms and thereby reduce much of the detail needed for
                      the process of scaling-up. Collection of the relevant
                      experimental evidence depends on controlling the environment
                      and complexity of experiments, and on applications of
                      technologies that report on, and integrate, small-scale
                      processes. As the role of biological feedbacks in the
                      behavior of climate systems is better appreciated, so the
                      need grows for experimentally based understanding of
                      ecosystem processes. We argue that we cannot continue as we
                      are doing, simply observing the progress of the greenhouse
                      gas-driven experiment in global change, and modeling its
                      future outcomes. We have to change the way we think about
                      climate system and ecosystem science, and in the process
                      move to experimental modes at larger scales than previously
                      thought achievable.},
