Caragana microphyllaLam,Salix psammophilaC.wang et Ch.Y.Yang,Sabina vulgarisAnt,Artemisia sphaerocephalaKrasch andHippophae rhamnidesLinn are common plants used in soil and water conservation in the arid and semi-arid regions of Inner Mongolia. In order to screen the soil-reinforcement and anti-erosion plants for this area, the tensile mechanical property, root-soil surface friction property, and the root-soil composite shear property of roots were studied. During the summer drought period, ten factors of the five kinds of four-age plants were evaluated by analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The results showed that the benefit index of soil-reinforcement by roots wereCaragana microphylla(0.72)>Sabina vulgaris(0.38)>Salix psammophila(0.03)>Artemisia sphaerocephala(-0.23)>Hippophae rhamnides(-0.90). Therefore,Caragana microphyllaLam should be considered as the preferred reference specie in soil-reinforcement and anti-erosion for the arid and semi-arid regions of China.
