- Start from empirical trajectories, how to formulate testable hypotheses and test them at the best level of complexity (erlenmeyer flask, micro- or mesocosms)
- Bridge the discrepancy emerging from studying short term vs. long term effects (e.g. shifts in demographic rates vs. compositional turnover at various spatial scales)
- How to use experiments and experimental data to extrapolate from empirical trajectories into future ecosystems
- Emerging modelling tools for simulating long term observational data, allowing for ‘virtual experiments’ (e.g. LakeEnsemblR)
- Development of strategies for facilitating collaboration between observatories and experimental facilities
- and more
