The magnitude of the soil sink is a major uncertainty of the atmospheric molecular hydrogen (H2) budget. This manuscript provides critical data for understanding this process, though a yearlong set of H2 flux measurements at a deciduous woodland and a managed grassland in Scotland. Net fluxes are related to soil temperature, moisture and type, major factors that regulate the biological uptake of H2. While soil moisture is the dominant control on H2 fluxes in the grassland site, the variability of the larger magnitude fluxes at the woodland site illustrates that more work needs to be done to identify local controllers on H2 soil uptake.
