Experimental analysis found shade stress affects carbon allocation in Pinus yunnanensis seedlings, suggesting age-specific adaptations.

Increasing shade intensity reduced non-structural carbohydrates in seedlings, showing a clear relationship between light and carbon balance.
In three-year-old seedlings, soluble sugars increased, illustrating how these plants adapt to low light conditions under carbon limitation.
The study assessed non-structural carbohydrate dynamics across age groups, identifying distinct responses to shade stress in younger versus older seedlings.
Age-specific thresholds for carbon balance were established, with younger seedlings needing greater light to sustain growth than older counterparts.

Han et al. (2025) studied this question.
