Wikipedia
Microecology means microbial ecology or ecology of a microhabitat. Human gut microecology is the study of microbial ecology of the human gut.
Microecology is a large field which includes many topics such as evolution and creation, biodiversity, exobiology, ecology, bioremediation, recycling, and food microbiology. There is an estimated 10,000,000 different type of microbes that live on this planet of which fewer than 4500 have been described according to the General Biodiversity Assessment (1) http://www.isme-microbes.org/whatis/biodiversity.
Without a microscope, the human eye can only see objects larger than one-tenth of a millimeter long, but given the right conditions, you might be able to see a human egg. Looking down at these tiny objects, you are looking at the edge of an entire world of creatures invisible to the naked eye. In this land around us, tiny microbes live out their tiny lives. Like us, they eat, move and reproduce. They interact with their world, obtaining food and energy from the environment, but also changing it in some very large ways. With millions of different kinds of microbes existing today, these organisms cover every part of the Earth. They are versatile in that they live in just about every kind of habitat. Over the billions of years that they have existed on the planet, microbes have adapted to fit their environments, developing ways of gathering food and energy that are still used by most organisms today.

They are also tolerant of many other conditions, such as limited water availability, high salt content, and low oxygen levels. Not every microbe can survive in all habitats. Each type of microbe has evolved to live within a narrow range of conditions.
Microbes are part of every ecosystem. They form the foundation of many food webs. Microbes are eaten by animals, which then serve as food sources for other animals and plants. Microbes also play an important part in breaking down dead plant and animal material through decomposition. Microbes are involved in the cycling of nutrients and other compounds throughout the environment. For example, microbes in the soil decompose the plant and animal matter in the rainforest creating a rich and fertile growing environment.
Usage examples of "microecology".

In the arks and zoos right now, a lot of rescued species are dying off even though the microecologies are right, simply because too few individuals were included in the original mix.
His engineering effort had organized shepherd moons to clear their civic orbits of collision passes, had built sails, vacuum-based microecologies, and ring-arc structures for them.
In another few million years these mole folk would swarm like tiny lizards, competing with the reptiles and amphibians who had always inhabited the microecology.
