RESUMO

Current and the next decade they will be identified in the time as group of the most excellent concerns with the ambient quality of the planet. Subjects as global heating and the eminent loss of the amount and quality of the water are argued constantly. A more specific ambient problem has worried specialists in the world all, including Brazil. One is about the large-scale dissemination of exotic species. The subject has been treated in the half academic as biological invasions and it is not only restricted to the plants. The study presented here it at the time deals with a trees species with great dissemination in the country and used in urban areas and beach bands due to proportionate shade of the summer. The occurrence of the singapure almond in protect areas of integral protection can represent a threat to the species for the occupation of the space. The identification with scientific methodology of the germination characteristics and reproductive success had been the form to evaluate the threat degree that the species represents for the environment of restinga. Thus, this study it had the objective to determine the potential of biological contamination of the singapure almond (Terminalia catappa L.) through the analysis of the index of germination speed (IVG), average time of germination, average speed of germination, frequency of germination, germinability (G%) and analysis of the tax of survival and transistion of seedly, young and adults. The results indicate that the seeds of the species can germinate in ample band of temperature, mainly, will be the full sun. Pulped fruits had presented greater speed and tax of germination. Seedly had presented high tax of comparative mortality to adult and youngs. The necessary species was concluded that to be removed of the area of restinga, therefore, although to be considered established, in favorable conditions it will develop itself occupying the niche of other local species.
