Roots play an important role in soil erosion control and carbon sequestration. It is significant to understand profile distribution characteristics of root biomass and soil organic carbon (SOC) under different vegetation restoration measures in soil eroded area. In the small watershed of Yan-gou in Loess Hilly Region of China, 10 sites were selected to sample roots and soil under similar topography condition of ridge slope to study the profile distribution characteristics of root biomass and soil organic carbon. SOC in 0—100 cm showed the trend of shrub > woods > shrub and grass > grass, but fine root biomass showed the trend of the woods > shrub > shrub and grass > grass; both SOC and fine root biomass logarithmically decreased with soil depth, however, distribution of SOC was inconsistent with fine root biomass, and distribution of fine root was shallower than the SOC.
