The knowledge of the capacity for acclimation and establishment of plant species is important for the implementation of management programs and ecological restoration of degraded ecosystems. Ecophysiological studies were performed (gas exchange, chlorophyll a fluorescence and photosynthetic pigments content) to evaluate the effect of light intensity on activity and photosynthetic capacity of jequitibá-rosa (Cariniana legalis Mart. Kuntze). The responses of seedlings subjected to the condition of full sun suggest that direct radiation could be a stressor for this species, affecting their performance, although photosynthetic acclimation with increasing light intensity was observed.Downloads
