The recent proliferation of types and accounts of experimentation in sustainability science still lacks philosophical reflection. The present paper introduces this burgeoning topic to the philosophy of science by identifying key notions and dynamics in sustainability experimentation, by discussing taxonomies of sustainability experimentation and by focusing on barriers to the transfer of evidence. It integrates three topics: the philosophy of experimentation; the sustainability science literature on experimentation; and discussions on values in science coming from the general philosophy of science, the social sciences, and sustainability science. The aim is to improve understanding of how sustainability experimentation has evolved, from a broader picture of the history and philosophy of science, with a specific focus on understanding evidence production and how evidence traveling in and from sustainability experiments can be improved, particularly in the context of complex and pervasive normative commitments of the research. By engaging in these topics, this research is one of the first philosophical accounts of sustainability experimentation, contributing both to the knowledge on specific philosophies of science and to the further development of an evidence-based sustainability science through a better understanding of the barriers to more relevant and usable knowledge.

最近可持续性科学中实验类型和描述的激增仍然缺乏哲学反思。本文通过确定可持续性实验中的关键概念和动态、讨论可持续性实验的分类以及关注证据转移的障碍，将这一新兴主题引入科学哲学。它整合了三个主题：实验哲学；关于实验的可持续性科学文献；以及关于来自一般科学哲学、社会科学和可持续性科学的科学价值观的讨论。目的是从更广泛的科学历史和哲学的角度，提高对可持续性实验如何演变的理解，特别关注理解证据的产生以及如何改进可持续性实验中的证据，特别是在研究的复杂和普遍的规范承诺的背景下。通过参与这些主题，这项研究是可持续性实验的首批哲学解释之一，有助于了解特定科学哲学的知识，并通过更好地理解更多障碍，进一步发展以证据为基础的可持续性科学。相关和可用的知识。
