This study investigates how horizontal granite outcrops shape adjacent soils in Esperança, Paraíba (Borborema Plateau, NE Brazil). Field GPS mapping of outcrops was combined with relief analysis (TOPODATA/INPE) and soil description/classification to the 2nd categorical level of WRB, supported by IBGE soil maps and geopedological cartography in QGIS. Three soil reference groups dominate: Neosols (Litholic and Regolithic) together cover ~80% of the municipality, reflecting shallow weathering mantles (
