Experimental Ecology
Experimental ecology is the scientific study of ecological relationships and processes using controlled experiments, mostly which focus on understanding how living organisms interact with their natural environment. Experimental ecologists have multiple methods to conduct experiments such as manipulating environmental variables in controlled settings, which help investigate how these factors affect the performance and behavior of organisms, most importantly plants. The goal of experimental ecology is to gain new knowledge into complex ecological systems, such as plant-climate relationships, species interactions, and responses to environmental changes. Data collected from these experiments is used to draw conclusions about ecological processes, patterns, and underlying mechanisms. Experimental ecology is a new methodology in ecological research, formalized by Henrik Lundegårdh in his 1925 book, Klima und Boden. As stated above, Experimental ecology is a branch of ecology that focuses ...
