- Abstract
The present work was conducted in the forest-based ecosystem of Chhattisgarh in order to assess the varietal performance of coffee varieties along with silver oak in terms of growth, biomass, and carbon dynamics. Five coffee varieties were planted in silver oak shade in a randomized block design with four replications. The aim of the present investigation is to assess the economic and ecological feasibility of forest-based coffee plantations in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh. Findings reflect the maximum under-storied plant height in Chandragiri Dwarf (1.85 m) which was at par with CxR (1.82 m) and San Ramon (1.71 m). The maximum above and below-ground carbon stock (48.40 and 12.09 Mg ha−1, respectively), as well as carbon dioxide (CO2) mitigation (177.63 and 44.41 Mg ha−1, respectively) from the under-storied coffee plantation, was recorded in CxR. In the upper-storied plantation, the above and below-ground biomass of silver oak recorded the maximum carbon stock (201.24 and 50.31 Mg ha−1, respectively) and CO2 mitigation (738.54 and 184.63 Mg ha−1) in S-8 intercropped lines. The highest value of carbon credit was recorded under the coffee variety S-8 and silver oak agroecosystem. The S-8, CxR, and Chandragiri Dwarf varieties performed quite well in terms of the expected value of carbon credit.
