Short summary
Seasonal changes in forest behavior are often hard to detect in carbon data. We developed a wavelet‑based approach to uncover how three beech forests grow and absorb carbon through seasons. The forests showed distinct spring growth, summer slowdowns and long‑term trends. All forests were carbon sinks with managed forests strengthening over time while the old forest weakened. We show how seasonal dynamics explain long‑term changes and offer a new tool for tracking forest responses to climate.
