Not terraforming, something accidental from Earth to another planet/moon/asteroid. I have a nagging feeling I've read something, but can't place it.

In Clarke's Before Eden, astronauts visit Venus, and thoughtlessly bury their garbage at the landing site. The highest evolved Venusian animal eats it, and is killed by Earth microbes. The Venusian ecosystem follows.
