More than a simple monograph, the authors present a comprehensive
geomorphic overview of a large tropical region where they show how
deciphering the long-term landform evolution helps understanding
the present set of landscapes and morphodynamic environments. The
Equatorial margin of the Brazilian "Nordeste" displays
stratigraphic landmarks whose interpretation reveals the age and
nature of landforms, leading to a reconstruction of the geomorphic
history by the means of combined morphostratigraphic and
morphopedological approaches. Beyond the role of differential
erosion related to moderate post-oceanic opening uplift, the plain
and upland landscape reflects a juxtaposition of landform and soil
generations related to a shallow basin inversion, the last stages
of which occurred in semi-arid conditions since the Oligocene.
These results throw light on old debates on models of long-term
landform development in platform areas, and also help evaluating
recent models of denudation and burial based on thermochronological
methods.
