This study aimed to evaluate the growth of species Senna multijuga, Myrsine coriaceae, Schizolobium parahyba var. parahyba, Inga edulis, I. marginata and Citharexylum myrianthum, in the recovery of an area degraded by livestock. The experiment was conducted in the Natural Reserve of Guaricica in Antonina, PR. Four treatments were tested with different densities of individuals of each species, each with three replications in 3.000 m² blocks. The evaluation was based on the variables: total height (h), diameter at 1.30 m above ground level, crown cover area, basal area and mortality. Except for the mortality that was compared by the Kruskal-Wallis test, the other variables were compared by the Tukey test at 5% significance level. I. edulis presented the best growth and I. marginata the worse, while M. coriacea presented the lowest mortality and S. multijuga the highest. Treatments expressed similar results, since higher density of I. edulis generated higher average h and higher density of S. multijuga generated higher mortality. Higher density of I. edulis tend to increase the efficiency of restoration projects, while C. myrianthum and M. coriacea also presented potential for plantings in the study region.
