Discussion

Analysis reveals drought significantly impacts photosynthetic efficiency in Scots pine, suggesting adaptive traits for climate resilience.

Drought stress significantly impacts photosynthetic efficiency, with recovery observed after rewatering.
Photosynthesis-related traits showed the highest genetic variation, indicating potential for early-age phenotyping.
Heritability varied widely among traits, particularly high in maximum quantum yield and steady-state yield.
Findings emphasize the importance of genetic variability in enhancing forest resilience against climate change.

Neuwirthová et al. (2025) studied this question.
