The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth of forest species in different agroforestry systems applied to restoration of degraded areas in Paraty-RJ. The agroforestry systems were established with leguminous and non-leguminous species in "single" (one plant/hole) and "married" (two plants/hole) planting. To do so, circumference at breast height, commercial height and total height of the individuals were measured after four years of the planting. The results showed the efficiency of the "married" planting in the agroforestry systems, despite of using leguminous or non-leguminous species, indicating the silvicultural potential for restoration of degraded areas.
