My 2 cents words about microgeostatistics. The scale at which geostatistics is applied to should not affect the method at all. It is used in astronomy as well as in microbiology. You will find plenty of recent peer-reviewd material available on line at www.scirus.com Using the keywords geostatistics and microbial, I got 73 results from which a few can be downloaded (if published after 2001 or 2002, depending on the journal). Here are a few recent publications that may help: Rima B. Franklin and Aaron L. Mills, Multi-scale variation in spatial heterogeneity for microbial community structure in an eastern Virginia agricultural field, FEMS Microbiology Ecology, Volume 44, Issue 3, 1 June 2003, Pages 335-346.
