- Intervention effect In P. glehnii, P. jezoensis and A. sachalinensis needle-level photosynthetic and morphological traits differed minimally between open and shade light.
- Intervention effect Open-grown T. cuspidata needles had higher photosynthetic capacity and thicker mesophyll tissue than shade-grown ones.
- Intervention effect Shoot-level photosynthetic capacity was higher in open-grown seedlings across species.
- Mechanism Shoot-level light acclimation in P. glehnii, P. jezoensis and A. sachalinensis was governed mainly by needle configuration.
- Mechanism In T. cuspidata, shoot-level acclimation was influenced by both needle-level photosynthesis and shoot morphology.
