Is global change biology a 'source' or a 'sink' of ecological hypotheses?

That is, has global change biology created new hypotheses, or has it mostly adopted existing questions from general ecology?

What do you think? I think it's the latter.

The soil plastisphere is a novel compartment in soils, developing around plastic particles. It has unique properties, and it harbors a specific microbiome.

Read about it in our new paper in Nature Reviews Microbiology.
