Resumo

Os depósitos coluviais quaternários do Maciço da Serra da Taquara (PE/Brasil) foram investigados como geoarquivos 
da relação solo–paisagem em ambiente semiárido. O estudo objetivou avaliar a dinâmica pedosedimentar e o 
intemperismo químico por meio de análises granulométricas e geoquímicas em quatro perfis coluviais distribuídos ao 
longo de uma topossequência. Foram aplicadas granulometria a laser, fluorescência de raios X e o Índice Químico de 
Alteração (Chemical Index of Alteration – CIA). Os resultados evidenciaram forte controle morfotopográfico sobre a 
evolução geoquímica, com maior intensidade de intemperismo nos setores mais estáveis da vertente. Os depósitos 
registram retrabalhamento sedimentar, estabilidade pedogenética e oscilações paleoambientais quaternárias, 
confirmando o potencial dos colúvios como geoarquivos estratégicos da evolução morfopedológica do semiárido 
brasileiro.
