Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

ABSTRACT: Beef cattle production systems are the largest contributors of
15
greenhouse gas (GHG) and ammonia (NH3) emissions in the livestock industry. Here,
16
we present the first meta-analysis and integrated assessment of gaseous emissions and
17
mitigation potentials for a typical beef cattle feedlot system, including methane (CH4),
18
nitrous oxide (N2O), and NH3 losses from enteric fermentation and manure
19
management based on data from 104 studies. Fourteen integrated emission factors (EF)
20
and the mitigation efficiencies (ME) of 17 available options were provided. The
21
estimated GHG and NH3 emissions from the baseline feedlot system were 2786 ±108 1
