In order to improve our knowledge of the mechanical effects of roots of shrub species on soil reinforcement and slope protection in loess region of Xining Basin, the dominant shrub Caragana korshinskii Kom. was selected as the study object, and the effects of the density, moisture content, and salt content of soil, and the root diameter on the friction characteristics of the root-soil interface and their mechanisms were analyzed and discussed via the single root vertical pull-out friction test(i. e., one factor was varied at a time). The results indicate that when the vertical buried depth was 25 cm and other factors are constant, as the density of soil increases from 1.20 g/cm3 to 1.60 g/cm3, the maximum pull-out resistance of C. korshinskii single root exponentially increases from(28.60±2.83)N to(114.33±7.17)N; maximum pull-out resistance exponentially decreases from(152.80±10.07)N to(31.50±5.53)N, as the moisture content of soil increases from 6.00% to 22.00%; as the salt content of soil increases from 0.59% to 2.00%, the maximum pull-out resistance initially increases with salt content of soil and then decreases, and the turning point of the maximum pull-out resistance [(61.20±0.94)N] occurs when the salt content of soil is 1.00%, exhibiting a quadratic relationship; as the average root diameter increases from 2.74 mm to 9.57 mm, the maximum pullout strength linearly increases from 25.20 N to 97.10 N. On these bases, a calculation model of the maximum pull-out resistance of a single vertical root is defined. In addition, the comprehensive cohesion and friction angle between the root-soil interface which requires to calculate the maximum pullout resistance of the vertical single root can be obtained via the direct shear test of the root-soil interface.
