Summary

Nitrous oxide (N<sub>2</sub> O), ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub> ), and methane (CH<sub>4</sub> ) emissions from the manure management chain of livestock production systems are important contributors to greenhouse gases (GHGs) and NH<sub>3</sub> emitted by human activities. Several studies have evaluated manure-related emissions and associated key variables at regional, national, or continental scales. However, there have been few studies focusing on the drivers of these emissions using a global dataset. An international project was created (DATAMAN) to develop a global database on GHG and NH<sub>3</sub> emissions from the manure management chain (housing, storage, and field) to identify key variables influencing emissions and ultimately to refine emission factors (EFs) for future national GHG inv
