Characteristics of Root Bending Resistance of Three Plants in Semi-arid Area
[Objective] To study the adjacent tap root and root nodes of typical soil and water conservation plants Caragana korshinskii
Hippophae rhamnoides and Medicago sativa in the different diameters of bending resistance and bending strength in Midwestern Inner Mongolia
in order to provide a scientific basis for the study of the inner mechanism of the plant root network.[Methods] Using bending test of cantilever beam
the tap root and root nodes of three kinds of plants was investigated.[Results] In the test root diameter range of 1~5 mm
the bending resistance of three plant root nodes and adjacent tap roots were positively correlated with the diameters
and the of three plant root nodes and adjacent superior tap root was ranked as:C. korshinskii > M. sativa > H. rhamnoides. In the test root diameter range of 2~5 mm
the root node bending force of three plants was smaller than their adjacent superior tap root
and ranked as:C. korshinskii (21.87
24.33 MPa) > M. sativa (10.69
17.02 MPa) > H. rhamnoides (4.81
4.95 MPa).[Conclusion] The capacity of the C. korshinskii root system to resist bending deformation is the best among three plants. The least bending strength differences have been found between H. rhamnoides root nodes and adjacent tap roots
indicating that the bending resistance of H. rhamnoides root system is the best at all levels
which is beneficial to the consolidation of root systems.
