Land-use systems (LUSs) in the agriculture urgently need to be revised to reduce greenhouse gases emissions (GHGs), and promote long-term sustainability. This study aimed to estimate the highest amount of CO 2 sequestration, carbon (C) stocks, and credit potential to mitigate climate change, and importantly identify a more sustainable LUS for income security, which can be easily adopted by farmers. The experiment was executed with the current year six LUSs: (1) legumes cereal wheat (Triticum aestivum) -based LUS (LCBLUS); (2) vegetable (cabbage -Brassica oleracea varcapitata) -based LUS (VBLUS) (farmer field); (3) guava (Psidium guajava) + linseed (Linum usitatissimum) -based LUS (GLBLUS); (4) custard apple (Annona reticulata) + barley (Hordeum vulgare) -based LUS (CABBLUS); (5) bael (Aegle marmelos) + mustard (Brassica juncea) -based LUS (BMBLUS), and (6) teak (Tectona grandis) -based forest LUS(TBFLUS) with four-times replicated in a randomized block design (RBD). The soil samples were collected at 0-15 and 15-30 cm depths from the study area at the start, and end of the experiment. Results revealed that the mean value of a bulk density (ρ b ) and particle density (ρ d ) was ranged from 1.38-1.54 Mg m À3 and 2.40-2.65 Mg m À3 , respectively. The mean value of pH and EC was ranged from 4.49-5.84 and 0.07-0.21 dsm -1 , respectively. Soil organic carbon (SOC) was ranged from 0.48%-0.76% and the total NPK stock range was from 51.69-58.97 Mgha -1 . The biomass accumulation, C stock, sequestration potential, and credit for six LUSs were
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
