Mikroeluution
Mikroeluution is a term used to describe the ecological processes occurring within very small, confined spaces. It focuses on the interactions between organisms and their environment at a micro-scale, such as within a drop of water, a soil aggregate, or a leaf litter fragment. This field of study often bridges the gap between traditional ecology and microbiology, examining how microbial communities, small invertebrates, and other microscopic lifeforms influence and are influenced by their immediate surroundings.
Research in mikroeluution often employs specialized techniques to observe and manipulate these tiny ecosystems. This can
