长期社会生态研究(LTSER)已经被引入，以改变目前对生态学的研究方法，并将其转变为一门大科学。LTSER平台目前正在欧洲各地创建。预计它们将增强生态学的能力，为应对全球环境挑战创造有用的知识。因此，他们坚持一个宏伟的科学愿景，具有三个主要特征：跨学科、长期实地考察和数据共享。借助科学与技术研究(STS)，我们考察了这些远大期望和科学愿景在实践中的实施情况。我们在三个欧洲LTSER平台上进行了实证调查，这些平台都处于建设的早期阶段：芬兰的LEPSämänjoki、法国的区域工作室Alpe和荷兰的Veluwe。LTSER愿景的三个特征是如何付诸实践的，这是我们调查的重点。正如可以预期的那样，它们并没有直接转化为现实。乍一看，它们甚至产生了相当小的有形影响。但事实证明，过程和产品一样重要：这些平台为合作伙伴提供了一个机会，让他们学习如何跨越学科和机构的鸿沟进行合作。当它们发生时，这些学习过程就发生了。它们也是持续和不完整的。这就解释了为什么同样的宏伟愿景是以不同的方式和不同的程度根据当地情况而实施的。因此，LTSER的价值不仅在于它能够提供新的研究领域、仪器和数据，还在于它有潜力帮助研究人员学会与其他学科和机构的同事以及与非学术伙伴合作。
Long-Term Socio-Ecological Research (LTSER) has been introduced to change the current approach to ecology and turn it into a big science. LTSER Platforms are currently being created across Europe. They are expected to enhance ecology's capacity to produce useful knowledge for facing global environmental challenges. They therefore uphold a grand scientific vision bearing three main characteristics: interdisciplinarity, long-term field sites, and data sharing. Drawing on Science and Technology Studies (STS), we examined the enactment of these great expectations and scientific visions in practice. We carried out an empirical survey in three European LTSER Platforms, all at the early stage of construction: Lepsämänjoki in Finland, zone atelier Alpes in France and the Veluwe in the Netherlands. The way in which the three characteristics of the LTSER vision were put into practice was the focus of our investigation. As could be expected, they were not translated directly into reality. At first sight, they even had rather minor tangible effects. But the processes turned out to be as important as the products: the platforms provided the partners with an opportunity to learn to cooperate across disciplinary and institutional divides. When they occurred, these learning processes were situated. They were also ongoing and incomplete. This explains why the same grand visions were enacted in various ways and to different extents depending on the local contexts. The value of LTSER therefore lies not only in its ability to offer new research fields, instruments and data, but also in its potential to help researchers learn to collaborate with colleagues from other disciplines and institutions as well as with non-academic partners.
