We determined the pull-out resistance of four three-year-old shrub plants (Caragana korshinskii Kom., Lycium barbarum L., Nitraria tangutorum Bor. and Sarcozygium xanthoxylon Bunge) by the in-situ pull-out test in the cold and semi-arid climate of Xining Basin. The relationship between the pull-out resistance and the growth indexes such as plant height, crown diameter, ground diameter, root length and lateral root number were analyzed, and the effects of four shrubs on soil slope protection were discussed. The results show that:(1) the decending order of pull-out resistance of the four shrubs in the studying area is Caragana korshinskii Kom.(256.39 N), Lycium barbarum L.(222.80 N), Nitraria tangutorum Bor.(178.52 N) and Sarcozygium xanthoxylon Bunge(134.84 N), the pull-out resistances of Caragana korshinskii Kom. and Lycium barbarum L. are relatively greater than those of Nitraria tangutorum Bor. and Sarcozygium xanthoxylon Bunge; (2) an exponential function relationship between pull-out resistance and plant height is found, a power function relationship between pull-out resistance and ground diameter is found, a linear function relationship between pull-out resistance and crown diameter, root length and lateral root number is found; (3) the correlations obtained by grey correlation analysis method between pull-out resistance and plant height, crown diameter, ground diameter, root length and lateral root number were 0.623, 0.669, 0.629, 0.730 and 0.719, respectively, therefore, the main factors affecting the pull-out resistance of the four shrubs are root length and lateral root number. The results of this study have certain theoretical research value and practical guiding significance for scientific prevention of soil erosion and shallow landslides by planting shrubs in the cold and semi-arid loess areas.
