SUMMARY This study aimed at identifying the most appropriate level of shading for initial growth of Apuleia leiocarpa seedlings, through their survival, morphological and physiological/biochemical parameters. The following treatments were evaluated 0 full sun, 18, 50 and 70 of shading. Survival was assessed at 30 and 30 days after planting and morphological parameters such as height H, stem diameter SD and H/SD ratio were measured bimonthly for a year. Physiological parameters as contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll a/b ratio, carotenoids, lipid peroidation, acid phosphatase enzme activit, initial uorescence, maimum uorescence, maimum quantum ield o photosstem and electron transport rate ere estimated at and das ater planting. At 30 days after planting d.a.p there was no mortality of Apuleia leiocarpa seedlings inuence o dierent levels o shading. n the assessments perormed at and d.a.p., there as no signicant dierence among levels o shading or H and SD. Hoever, high mortality rates were observed at 30 d.a.p., especially in full sun. Morphological and physiological parameters of Apuleia leiocarpa plants showed this species re uires shading 18 and 50 in their early stages of growth. Key words Fabaceae, morphological and physiological parameters, native species.
