Short summary
We studied how planting green manure between tea rows affects carbon dioxide release from tea fields. Mixing legume and grass species improved soil health, reduced emissions from tea rows, and stabilized carbon over time. Although inter-row areas released more carbon, overall emissions declined with continued intercropping. This shows that green manure can make tea farming more climate-friendly and sustainable.
