Resumo
Given the importance of studying the evolution of the soil cover, in continuum, of slopes of escarpment zones, this
study aimed to evaluate the pedogeomorphological dynamics of a soil toposequence. The toposequence is located in the Upper Rio
das Velhas Basin, Rio das Velhas Supergroup (SGRV), in the southeastern part of Ferriferous Quadrangle (MG). Some soil samples
were collected in five selected Cambisols profiles along the toposequence, localized at the upper São Bartolomeu River, subwatershed
at the upper Rio das Velhas River. These samples were subjected to mineralogical analysis and physical and chemical
analysis. The results showed that the soils are derived from vertical transformation of the SGRV schists, with the lower horizons
showing lithodependence. These horizons are separated from the upper colluvium by a stone line, composed of quartz, schist and
ferruginous crust fragments and, to a lesser extent, by itabirites. The stone line was of holocen age, a accordingly some OEL datings.
It was found out that the soil profiles can be grouped into two large compartments, with different degrees of pedogenetical
development. These features suggest that the pedogenetical evolution of the escarpment have been marked by two major
morphogenetical erosive phases.
