The study of the function and diversity of microbes in their natural environment.
A
Plant microbiology
B
Environmental Microbiology
C
Soil microbiology
D
Agricultural Microbiology
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Microbial ecology (or environmental microbiology) is the ecology of microorganisms: their relationship with one another and with their environment. It concerns the three major domains of life-Eukaryota, Archaea, and Bacteria-as well as viruses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Environmental microbiology: the study of the function and diversity of microbes in their natural environments. This involves the characterization of key bacterial habitats such as the rhizosphere and phyllosphere, soil and groundwater ecosystems, open oceans or extreme environments (extremophiles).

Detailed explanation-3: -Microbial ecology is the study of the interactions of microorganisms with their environment, each other, and plant and animal species. It includes the study of symbioses, biogeochemical cycles and the interaction of microbes with anthropogenic effects such as pollution and climate change.

Detailed explanation-4: -Microbial diversity can be defined as the range of different kinds of unicellular organisms, bacteria, archaea, protists, and fungi. Various different microbes thrive throughout the biosphere, defining the limits of life and creating conditions conducive for the survival and evolution of other living beings.

Detailed explanation-5: -Metagenomics is the study of microbes and their communities in the congtext of their natural habitat. All the genes in a microbial community are collectively referred to as a metagenome. The latest DNA sequencing technology is taking genetic studies a step further.
