Abstract: We took 5-year-old Pinus koraiensis seedlings under natural secondary forests with canopy densities of 0.2-0.3, 0.4-0.6, and 0.7-0.9 at Laoshan Plantation Experimental Station in Maoershan Experimental Forest Farm of Northeast Forestry University as monitor object, and P. koraiensis seedlings under full-light environment as control (CK), to investigate the photosynthetic characteristics and the anatomical structure of P. koraiensis needles in response to the changes of canopy densities. The results showed that the height and diameter of P. koraiensis seedlings tended to decrease while specific leaf area increased with the increases of canopy densities. The total biomass of P. koraiensis seedlings under different canopy densities ranked in an order of 0.4-0.6＞CK＞0.7-0.9＞0.2-0.3. Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) was significantly and positively correlated with leaf biomass, stem biomass, and root biomass. The net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, and intercellular CO₂ concentration of P. koraiensis seedlings showed a decreasing trend with the increases of canopy densities, while the stomatal conductance showed an increasing trend. Net photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll a/b showed a significant positive correlation with PAR. Stomatal density showed a gradual decreasing trend with the increases of canopy densities, and the needle cross-sectional area, mesophyll tissue area, xylem area, and phloem area of P. koraiensis seedlings under canopy density 0.4-0.6 were significantly higher than those in other treatments. P. koraiensis seedlings with stronger photosynthetic abilities and higher needle anatomy parameters under canopy density 0.4-0.6, and were able to maintain strong competitiveness in this habitat. Those results indicated that 5-year-old P. koraiensis seedlings need certain shading environment.
