Abstract
A short survey is given about calorimetric investigations on ecological systems. Rele- vant literature is sparse, and moreover often dedicated to "indirect" calorimetry. Systems under research range from very complex entities like forests, lakes or marine shore sites to simpler parts of them as soils and sediments or various types of animals living in these habitats. Two examples of toxic effects are presented in some more detail: the influence of the organic pollutant pentachlorophenol on the different components of a forest system and that of the heavy metal cadmium on an aquatic organism.
