The objectives, organization and research programme of the Fynbos Biome Project being undertaken in the south-west and southern Cape are described. The project is a cooperative multi-disciplinary study of the ecological characteristics, structure and functioning of the various fynbos ecosystems and their components. Particular emphasis is being devoted to major environmental problems such as invasive plants and the ecological effects of fire. The project is divided into three phases, Phase I (1977-1980) baseline studies of the fynbos biome, Phase II (1979-1982) comparative studies of ecosystem structure and functioning, and Phase III (1981-1986) validation studies
