How are experiments central to ecology?
Science attempts to provide the best possible picture of what is going on behind the phenomena. It describes the unseen components of the problem. Theories are the accounts of the underlying composition or unseen causes; they speak about things beyond the evidence.

Paper on Community Structure, Population Control, and Competition by Hariston, Smith and Slobodkin

Ecological complexity depends upon species diversity and the structure of species interactions. Complex ecosystems are hierarchically controlled, characterized by non-linear feedback loops, and exhibit patterns that can be observed over many different spatial and temporal scales.

In the broadest sense, biodiversity encompasses all the variety of life forms on Earth. Humans rely upon the earth's biodiversity resources for food, fiber, fuel, building materials, medicine, and technological advances.
