Short summary
Soil methane uptake represents the second-largest sink of atmospheric methane but the field observations have not yet been systematically compiled. Here, we compiled an open global soil methane uptake database from the 1980s, covering most regions in multi-timescale along with the soil moisture and temperature data. The data show strong seasonal changes and different controls across biomes, helping improve climate estimates, models, and satellite evaluations.
