Traditional forest management models could potentially be used to combat changes in environmental conditions by stimulating soil properties and supporting tree growth. In this study, we compare the effects of different oak (Quercus petraea /Matt./Liebl.) [coppice, coppice-with-standard, stocked coppice (reference)] on seasonal variability at upland igneous sedimentary sites (280–418 m a.s.l.). Soils were sampled 0–5 10–15 cm 50 × model reference plots January, April, July October between 2015 2019, organic matter, respiration, enzyme activity, pH water-holding capacity determined. The seasonality then compared using time-series analysis, analysis variance discriminant analysis. Overall, differentiated subsurface horizons from topsoil their feedback varied sites. While increased stands, acid phosphomonoesterase activity nitrogen content decreased site. most significant negative influence was observed site, greatest increase matter water holding registered coppice-with-standards Consequently, appropriate subsoil types valuable for improving carbon sequestration drought resistance.
