A description of the objectives, organization and research programme of the Savanna Ecosystem Project being undertaken at Nylsvley in the northern Transvaal is presented. The project is a cooperative multi-disciplinary study of the structure and function of a savanna ecosystem being undertaken by researchers from seven universities and several government institutes. The programme commenced with a pilot study of the main research area (Phase I, 1974-1976) and current activities focus on the investigation of key components and processes (Phase II, 1976-1979). The final phase (Phase III, 1979-1984) will concentrate on validation studies and the development of land-use strategies.
