This report, the first of three volumes, forms part of the Karoo Biome Project. One of the aims is to synthesize existing knowledge of the Karoo biome and so provide a foundation for further research in areas where it is considered necessary. It is a multi-authored publication covering a wide range of topics. This first volume summarizes what is currently known on the physical environment of the biome; namely geology, soils, climate, hydrology, geohydrology and soil erosion. Other aspects of the Karoo biome will be covered in the succeeding volumes.
