Scarp retreat is a common natural process which drives the evolution of landscape in monoclinal or horizontally bedded structures. The NW‑facing, retreating limestone slope of the Vânturarița‑Buila Massif, a mountain ridge in the South Carpathians, is incised by steep dry valleys (SDVs), parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ridge crest. We performed morphometric and structural analyses on these features in order to estimate the geomorphic control on the scarp retrogressive evolution and their relations to tectonics. Longitudinal profiles display most of their relevant morphometry. Average slope commonly ranges between 35° and 50°, often exceeding 60° on certain segments. Lengths reflect the variability of exposed caprock thicknes...
