Résumé anglais Abstract. Four great pedological provinces are distinguished in the North-East of France and Rhenish Germany. The brown soils are developed on the liasic and triasic regions of the « Plateau Lorrain ». The calcareous landscapes are characterised by red rendzinas, inherited from tertiary alterations and recarbonated in the periglacial times. In the hercynian mountains, the bad decomposition of the organic matter produces brown acid soils or sometimes podzolic soils, when rocks and expositions are favourable. In the Rhenish rift, the variety of soils is very great : the loess bears generally brown and brown bleached soils, but locally near Mainz a chernozem inherited from the Boreal period. The author attempts to give a chronology of this soils : the most evolved are dated from Boreal, Atlantic (brown soils) or Subboreal (heath-podzols).
