Abstract: The urgent requirement of human society to solve major resource and environmental pro-blems at the regional and global scales promotes the rises of macroecosystem science (MES) and the multidisciplinary fusions of natural science and humanities. Furthermore, it facilitates the innovation of macroecosystem scientific theory, as well as the development of continental and global scale knowledge fusion methodology and key technology. With the aim to serve the construction and deve-lopment of continental and global scale knowledge fusion methodological system for the changes of ecosystem status and resource environmental effect studies, we systematically elaborated the multi-disciplinary dimensional basic scientific problems, logic relationships and frontiers in the macroecosystem science, discussed the ideology and content of constructing the continental and global scale research methodological system, proposed to develop the networked observation-networked experiment-numerical simulation-knowledge fusion four-in-one infrastructures. This study would provide theoretical references for the network design of ecosystem observation research in China and at the global scale.
