RESUMO:A classificação de ambientes costeiros pode ser uma tarefa complexa. O estudo da geomorfologia na identificação de ambientes sedimentares necessita de uma validação. Não raro, feições como cordões litorâneos são confundidas com dunas. O depósito sedimentar em forma de dunas fica melhor caracterizado quando realizados estudos sedimentológicos, nos quais são observados os parâmetros granulométricos e a morfoscopia dos grãos. Neste trabalho estes métodos clássicos de sedimentologia foram aplicados aos sedimentos de testemunhos coletados na planície costeira da localidade de Mosqueiro (SE). A análise granulométrica e morfoscópica mostrou que, apesar de os sedimentos possuírem algumas características peculiares às areias de dunas, como uma granulometria fina, assimetria positiva tendendo para os finos e distribuição leptocúrtica da curva gaussiana, os sedimentos apresentam outras características como a seleção moderada e a superfície predominantemente polida que indicam que estes depósitos não foram formados exclusivamente pelo transporte eólico. O transporte misto, ora pela água, ora pelo vento, aponta para um ambiente de cordões litorâneos. Embora estes depósitos não tenham sido considerados dunas, é importante não construir na faixa de variação natural da praia para se evitar problemas com erosão costeira, bem como garantir a conservação ambiental e a segurança das pessoas e do patrimônio.Palavras-chave: Granulometria; Morfoscopia; Dunas; Cordões Litorâneos. ABSTRACT:The classification of coastal environments could be a complex task. The study of geomorphology in the identification of sedimentary environments requires validation. Often, features like beach ridges are confused with dunes. The sedimentary deposit in the form of dunes is better characterized when sedimentological studies are carried out, in which granulometric parameters and grain morphoscopy are observed. In this work, these classical methods of sedimentology were applied to the sediments of the samples collected in the coastal plain of Mosqueiro (SE). The granulometric and morphoscopic analysis showed that, although the sediments have some characteristics peculiar to the sand dunes, such as fine granulometry, positive asymmetry tending to the fines and leptokurtic distribution of the Gaussian curve, the sediments present other characteristics such as moderate selection and surface that indicate that these deposits were not formed exclusively by the wind transport. The mixed transport, sometimes by the water, or by the wind, points to an environment of coastal strings. Although these deposits have not been considered as dunes, it is important not to build on the natural range of the beach to avoid problems with coastal erosion, as well as to guarantee environmental conservation and the safety of people and property.Keywords: Granulometry; Morphoscopy; Dune; Beach Ridges.

<p>Recent detailed investigations of landforms, soils and surface deposits of the Borisoglebsk Upland northeastern slope within the Nero Lake basin (Central European Russia, Yaroslavl Region) allowed deciphering co-evolution of the major landscape components of the case study area since the Late Pleistocene. The Late Pleistocene to Holocene transition in the gully network was represented by relatively short but high-magnitude (up to 12 m) incision phase followed by significant infill till 6.5 ka. Absence of the well-developed early Holocene paleosols in the studied sections and cores suggests dominantly negative sediment budget. There is so far limited evidence of sedimentation over the first half of the Holocene. Discontinuous deposition with certain interruptions (but without distinct buried soil formation) occurred only within closed depressions and on gully fans. The second part of the Holocene prior to the widespread human settlement left more substantial traces in soil and sediment record. Despite the common perception of the pristine boreal forest landscapes to be geomorphologically stable due to erosion-protective role of woodland vegetation, several phases of dramatically increased soil and gully erosion rates have been identified. It is identified in soil bodies and sediments, both at locations dominated by denudation (evidences of multiple topsoil truncation in Atlantic and Subatlantic) and at zones of alternating incision and infill of small linear erosion features. Such extremes were most likely associated with combination of several triggers including natural forest fires and high-magnitude rainfall or snowmelt runoff events. There are several <sup>14</sup>C dated layers of pyrogenic charcoal indicating pre-anthropogenic wildfire-induced incision and infill cycles during the middle and late Holocene.</p><p>The last phases of increased hillslope and fluvial activity within the study area can be related to increased human interference, starting from about 1600-900 years ago. The onset of cut-and-burn cultivation is independently established from available archeological evidences, dating of cut and burnt tree logs remnants, organic material buried by agrogenic colluvium and gully fans. Latest period of intensive gully growth can most likely be attributed to the XIX<sup>th</sup> Century land tenure reform, when most of the study area gullies experienced significant linear growth, bottom incisions and appearance of several new gully branches. The most recent trend of soil and gully erosion has been evaluated by <sup>137</sup>Cs sediment tracing, soil empirical modeling and comparison of historical and modern maps, airborne photos and satellite images. Rates of soil redistribution on slopes decreased significantly over the last several decades due to combination of natural and anthropogenic impacts: 1) decreased spring snowmelt runoff caused mainly by generally lowered thickness of seasonally frozen topsoil layer; 2) arable land abandonment or shift from row crops and cereals to perennial grass-dominated crop rotations in the post-Soviet period. In addition, local short-term (from several years to within-year) cycles of relatively low-magnitude (not exceeding ±1 m range) incision and infill in gullies are often triggered by biogenic activities, namely beaver dam constructions and breaches and local log jams.</p><p>The study is supported by the Russian Science Foundation (Project No. 19-77-10061) and Russian Foundation for Basic Research (Project No. 19-29-05238).</p>
