Answer:

The study of microbes in their natural habitat and their relationship with each other and their environment is termed as Microbial ecology. It mainly constitutes of Viruses, Eukaryotes ,Bacteria and Archaea as its living entities.

Being omnipresent in the biosphere they impact the other life-forms up to a significant extent.

They also help maintaining biogeochemical cycle by nitrogen fixation, sulfur metabolism and methane metabolism. Microbes also play a vital role of availing energy in the ecosystems where sunlight is scarce and hence photosynthesis is not good means of energy trapping, in such ecosystems the microbes actively engage in fundamental ecological processes including production, decomposition, and fixation inside the host organism.

Fossil fuels are normally stored in a reservoir deep in the Earth. The carbon in fossil fuels, including coal and oil, are essen
ASHA 777 [7]
One risk for accessing carbon from the ground is that it may cause soil contamination. Soil when exposed to large amount of gases and other organically decaying materials can absorb these into their make-up. Fossil fuels are extracted from the ground through drilling processes. When the drilling is unsuccessful, pockets created within the soil can create areas for contamination. When soil is contaminated by fossil fuels, it can no longer be use for agricultural purposes.
