Evaluation of the primary methods used to study plant and microbial responses to climate change in the context of five common barriers to broad inference.

Common methods (rows) were qualitatively evaluated for the incorporation of each barrier (columns); “explicit” indicates that the method inherently incorporates or addresses the barrier, “possible” indicates that it is possible for the method to incorporate or address the barrier based on the experimental design, “no” indicates that, to our knowledge, the method cannot incorporate or address the barrier. References were chosen based on applicability, impact, and novelty.

针对各类障碍（列）的适配纳入情况，对通用方法（行）开展了定性评估。其中，"明确"表示该方法本身可天然纳入或解决对应障碍；"可行"表示基于实验设计框架，该方法具备纳入或解决该障碍的可能性；"不可行"则表示据我们现有认知，该方法无法纳入或解决该障碍。参考文献的遴选依据为适用性、影响力与创新性。
