Field-scale research refers to studies or experiments conducted at a large scale, typically involving outdoor or natural environments such as agricultural fields, watersheds, or forests. This type of research aims to assess the impact of various factors or interventions on a larger scale, as opposed to small-scale or laboratory studies. Field-scale research often involves collecting data over a longer period of time and can provide valuable insights into real-world applications and implications. It is often used in disciplines such as ecology, agriculture, environmental science, and natural resource management.
