Differences in Soil Reinforcement and Root Fatigue Properties of Typical Shrubs in Semi-arid Mining Areas by Xin Zhang, Bo Wang, Tiejun Liu, Jianying Guo, Hugang Wang, Zhenqi Yang

“…The cumulative root length and root surface area were mostly concentrated in the 10-20 cm shallow soil, with proportions of 30.1% and 29.8%, respectively. ② The tensile force of the taproots of the three shrubs before and after fatigue was positively correlated with root diameter by a power function relationship, and a negative power function relationship between tensile strength and root diameter was observed. …”
