Comparison of Tensile Resistance Properties of Main Roots and Lateral Roots Among Four Shrub Species in Northeast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
[Objective] The tensile strength tests were carried out of the main roots and lateral roots of four shrub species in the loess area of Northeast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
and the relationship between mechanical properties of main roots and lateral roots was discussed
which provided a reference for investigating the mechanical mechanism of plant roots in stabilizing soils and slopes.[Methods] The drainage area of Changlinggou in Xining Basin was selected as the studying area
and the tensile force
tensile strength
Young's modulus were measured by laboratory single root tensile test of four three-year-old shrub species(Caragana korshinskii
Lycium chinense
Nitraria tangutorum and Sarcozygium xanthoxylon).Then the relationship between root diameter
tensile force
tensile strength and Young's modulus of main roots and lateral roots of four species was further analyzed.[Results] The tensile forces of main roots of C. korshinskii
L. chinense
N. tangutorum and S. xanthoxylon were 28.45
13.21
11.01 and 7.35 times of lateral roots
the tensile strengths of main roots were 0.67
1.17
0.68 and 1.22 times of lateral roots
and the Young's moduluses of main roots were 2.00
2.39
2.82 and 2.48 times of lateral roots
respectively.[Conclusion] The tensile forces of main roots were significantly higher than lateral roots for four shrub species. The tensile strengths of main roots of C. korshinskii and N. tangutorum were lower than lateral roots
while the tensile strengths of main roots of L. chinense and S. xanthoxylon were higher than lateral roots. The Young's moduluses of main roots were significantly higher than lateral roots for four species
it showed that the main roots were not easy to deform in comparison with the lateral roots
and the contribution of main roots to the stability of the shallow slope is significantly higher than lateral roots.
