Although silage can efficiently utilize forage, its fermentation process produces greenhouse gases, resulting in nutrient loss and environmental pollution. In this study, corn stover was used as the raw material and Artemisia argyi (AA) as an additive for mixed silage preparation, and the variations of microbial community, fermentation quality, chemical composition and greenhouse gas emissions during ensiling were analyzed. The results demonstrated that compared with the single corn stover silage, silage mixed with AA could enriched beneficial bacteria such as Lactiplantibacillus and inhibited harmful bacteria including Enterobacter, lowered the pH value, increased lactic acid content, and reduced emissions of greenhouse gas containing CO2, CH4, and N2O more than 65%. This study offers reference for additive development, straw silage optimization, and the realization of the carbon neutralization targets in animal husbandry.
