The primary difference between small, controlled lab experiments and ecosystem-scale experiments is **the applicability of the results**.
In small lab experiments, conditions are tightly controlled and may not reflect the complexity of natural ecosystems, which limits how broadly the findings can be applied. In contrast, ecosystem-scale experiments are conducted in natural or larger-scale settings, allowing for the observation of interactions among multiple variables, including biotic and abiotic factors, which makes the results more applicable to real-world situations.
