Upland terrestrial soils play a crucial role in the global methane (CH₄) cycle, although their potential as sinks for CH₄ remains inadequately quantified. This study investigated CH₄ uptake rates spanning two full years at four locations representing typical soil types and crop rotations in Denmark. The sampling campaigns included a total of more than 5000 manual static chamber flux measurements. All locations were, on average, small net sinks for CH₄ while displaying significant differences between locations ranging from −1.5±0.3 g CH₄-C ha⁻¹ day⁻¹ on the loamy soils to −3.8±0.3 g CH₄-C ha⁻¹ day⁻¹ on the sandy soil with the lowest bulk density. A significant negative effect of soil moisture on CH₄ uptake was also identified across the locations. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of soil texture and moisture as key controlling variables for CH₄ uptake and emphasizes the need for local estimates of sink capacity. Overall, there were no detectable effects of agricultural management practices and fertilisation events did not affect the CH₄ flux except for some high emissions following cattle slurry application on coarse sandy soil, which needs some consideration.
