A field experiment was conducted from 2022 to 2023 in the Yellow River Basin of Inner Mongolia, China, with five green manure species, namely common vetch, hairy vetch, sesbania, forage rapeseed, and forage oat, and a fallow control.

Compared with fallow, green manure incorporation numerically increased cumulative CO2 emissions by 7.29%\u221244.30% and GWP by 7.44%\u221239.64%, although treatment differences in GWP were not significant, with CO2 contributing more than 85% of total GWP. It also increased grain yield by 2.96%\u221211.95%. Despite the numerical increase in GWP, GHGI differed among species. Hairy vetch achieved the highest yield and lowest GHGI, common vetch reduced GHGI relative to fallow, and forage oat showed high yield with the lowest cumulative N\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    O emission.
