Mean Winter Temperature: 12 deg C
Seasonality: hot, continental, with 80% of rain summer (Oct-Apr)
Predominant Vegetation: Seasonally flooded grassland, Acacia savanna, Combretum savanna, Burkea africana woodland.
Site Data Source #1: Dr. Robert J. Scholes (see above)
Site Data Types: Historical records and papers
Site Data Access: Use Scholes & Walker (1993) (see below) as a data catalogue, get the primary literature out of the journals where it is published, and write to Dr. RJ Scholes for unpublished material.

Nylsvley was the site of the South African Savanna Ecosystem Research Programme from 1974 to 1990. A large number of studies on primary production, hydrology, herbivory, fire, biogeochemistry, etc. were conducted during this period, and published in the open literature. All of this material is summarized in Scholes, RJ and BH Walker 1993, An African Savanna: Synthesis of the Nylsvley Study. Cambridge University Press.

Within the landscapes encompassed by the 3000 ha reserve, there are five main vegetation types: seasonally flooded grassland; Acacia savanna on sodic soils; Combretum savanna on lithosols developed from rhyolite; Burkea africana woodland on deeper sandy soils; Acacia savannas on the same material, but enriched with nutrients as a result of human habitation several centuries ago. Within the 600 ha research area, the latter two vegetation types occur.

The Burkea africana woodland is a broadleafed woodland with about 35% canopy cover, 6m tall, dominated by Burkea africana, Terminalia sericea, and Ochna pulchra. The grass layer is continuous, and dominated by Eragrostis pallens and Digitaria eriantha. This type occupies about 80% of the research area. The Acacia tortillis savanna is a fineleafed savanna with about 20% canopy cover, 4 m tall, dominated by Acacia tortillis and Acacia nilotica. The grass layer is continuous and dominated by Eragrostis lehmanniana, Panicum maximum and Cenchrus ciliaris.

Project Description:

The purpose of the Global LandCover Test Sites (GLCTS) project is to develop a multitemporal and multi-resolution satellite data set for a selection of global test sites to support the research development of land cover characterization and the testing and validation of improved algorithms for EOS. The sites selected represent a wide range of global land cover types, are well characterized on the ground with on-going field-based monitoring programs, and are of interest to the international global change research community. The primary component of the data set will be historical and recent Landsat data and a series of daily AVHRR 1km data acquisitions in a 500 Km by 500 Km window centered on the site. Digital elevation data and land cover information will be also included for each site.

As with all the Pathfinder projects, this activity will help provide experience with which to develop the data and information system for EOS. In particular, problems associated with developing registered multi-resolution and multi-source data sets, providing tools for data extraction, and developing the appropriate metadata and information management systems will be addressed. The targeted user-community for this product includes: researchers developing regional and global scale land cover assessments; researchers developing improved algorithm for surface parameterization; and field scientists working at the test sites wanting to explore the application of remote sensing.

Site Description:

Nylsvley was the site of the South African Savanna Ecosystem Research Programme from 1974 to 1990. A large number of studies on primary production, hydrology, herbivory, fire, biogeochemistry, etc. were conducted during this period, and published in the open literature. The 600 ha. Nylsvley research area is set within a larger 3000 ha reserve.

Data Format and Organization:

Data are distributed on a series of low and high density 8 mm tapes, organized by data type. A copy of this header file is the first record on each tape and it will also include specific format and organization data for each tape.

DEM in UTM projection, north up orientation: Datum used to create the DEM.
GTOPO30 has a horizontal grid spacing of 30-arc seconds (0.0083333333 degrees). The horizontal coordinate system is decimal degrees of latitude and longitude referenced to WGS84. The vertical units represent elevation in meters above mean sea level. The elevation values range from -407 to 8,752 meters. In the DEM, ocean areas have been masked as "no data" and have been assigned a value of -9999. Lowland coastal areas have an elevation of at least 1 meter, so in the event that a user reassigns the ocean value from -9999 to 0 the land boundary portrayal will be maintained. Due to the nature of the raster structure of the DEM, small islands in the ocean less than approximately 1 square kilometer will not be represented.
