A summary of the results of the first phase (mid 1974 to mid 1976) of the South African Savanna Ecosystem Project being undertaken at Nylsvley in the northern Transvaal is presented. Phase I of this ten year study of the structure and functioning of a bushveld community was aimed at developing a quantitative description of the Study Area, in particular its soils, climate, vegetation and fauna. Details are provided of the main soil types, climatic variables, plant and animal communities, and in particular, the distribution of biomass in space and time. An outline is given of progress in Phase II - studies in key components and processes.
