Abstract
In a system of six outdoor artificial streams, diurnal oxygen and temp erature cycles were continuously monitored using probes coupled to a d ata logger. Data were used to calculate diurnal photosynthesis and res piration of communities df periphyton and invertebrates. The value of this method in ecotoxicology is illustrated by reference to experiment s with the herbicide atrazine and the insecticide lindane.
