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.},
