- Global change threatens plant diversity and disrupts its interrelationship with ecosystem structure and function. This disruption in turn undermines confidence in the knowledge ecologists produce, and whether it will translate into multidisciplinary research settings or guide the effective management of natural lands.
- To address this challenge, ecology needs to consider the interactions between different levels of biological hierarchy, especially how they feedback on, and are mediated by, plant diversity. Doing so will require conducting empirical work and developing theory that simultaneously considers multiple disciplinary perspectives and units of study.
- Here we advocate the use of common gardens to integrate ecology, evolutionary biology and ecosystem science through an explicit focus on simultaneous measurement of response variables at multiple levels of biological organization. This approach will provide opportunities to evaluate assumptions important to prediction, such as space-for-time substitution, and tackle the integration of physicochemical and eco-evolutionary foundations to understanding plants and ecosystems.
- Synthesis. We summarize the large body of research on Sonoran Desert winter annuals to demonstrate how experimental designs that employ common gardens to integrate processes across scales hold special promise. This includes refining trait-based theories of plant strategies, providing insight into ecosystem responses to global change and collaborating effectively with other scientific disciplines.

- 全球变化威胁植物多样性并破坏其与生态系统结构和功能的相互关系。这种破坏反过来破坏了对生态学家产生的知识的信心，以及它是否会转化为多学科研究环境或指导自然土地的有效管理。
- 为了应对这一挑战，生态学需要考虑不同层次的生物等级之间的相互作用，特别是它们如何反馈植物多样性并由植物多样性介导。这样做将需要进行实证工作并发展同时考虑多个学科观点和研究单元的理论。
- 在这里，我们提倡使用公共花园来整合生态学、进化生物学和生态系统科学，明确关注同时测量生物组织多个层面的响应变量。这种方法将提供机会来评估对预测很重要的假设，例如时空替代，并解决物理化学和生态进化基础的整合，以了解植物和生态系统。
- 合成。我们总结了关于索诺兰沙漠冬季一年生植物的大量研究，以展示利用普通花园整合跨尺度过程的实验设计如何具有特殊的前景。这包括完善基于特性的植物策略理论，深入了解生态系统对全球变化的反应，并与其他科学学科进行有效合作。
