Popis: is study assess the potential of nurseries located in the Rivers Macae and Ostras Watershed. irteen nurseries found in the watershed produce approximately 4,867,600 seedlings per year, being 95% concentrated on private nurseries. Considering the 469 identi ed species found in the nurseries, 43.28 % are native of the Atlantic Forest, of which 20% are typical of riparian forests. About 30% of the entire production consist of seeds and seedlings that come om other watersheds. Based on these data, and considering the current increasing on demands for forest seedlings, we evaluate the risk of the entrance of species and genotypes common to other regions, and the necessary actions to provide technical and logistic support to the nursery line of work.
