| description | Given the important role of nitrogen input from livestock systems in
terrestrial nutrient cycles and the atmospheric chemical composition, it is
vital to have a robust estimation of the magnitude and spatiotemporal
variation in manure nitrogen production and its application to cropland across the globe. In this study, we
used the dataset from the Global Livestock Impact Mapping System (GLIMS) in
conjunction with country-specific annual livestock populations to reconstruct
the manure nitrogen production during 1860–2014. The estimated manure
nitrogen production increased from 21.4 Tg N yr<sup>−1</sup> in 1860 to
131.0 Tg N yr<sup>−1</sup> in 2014 with a significant annual increasing trend
(0.7 Tg N yr<sup>−1</sup>, <i>p</i> < 0.01). Changes in manure nitrogen
production exhibited high spatial variability and concentrated in several
hotspots (e.g., Western Europe, India, northeastern China, and southeastern
Australia) across the globe over
the study period. In the 1860s, the northern midlatitude region was the
largest manure producer, accounting for ∼ 52 % of the global total,
while low-latitude regions became the largest share (∼ 48 %) in the
most recent 5 years (2010–2014). Among all the continents, Asia accounted
for over one-fourth of the global manure production during 1860–2014. Cattle
dominated the manure nitrogen production and contributed ∼ 44 % of
the total manure nitrogen production in 2014, followed by goats, sheep,
swine, and chickens. The manure nitrogen application to cropland accounts for
less than one-fifth of the total manure nitrogen production over the study
period. The 5 arcmin gridded global
dataset of manure nitrogen production generated from this study could be used
as an input for global or regional land surface and ecosystem models to
evaluate the impacts of manure nitrogen on key biogeochemical processes and
water quality. To ensure food security and environmental sustainability, it
is necessary to implement proper manure management practices on cropland
across the globe. Datasets are available at
