To　investigate　the　effects　of　Phyllostachys　edulis　on　shallow　landslide,　a　series　of　experiments　were　conducted　at　P.　edulis　forest　landslide　sites.　These　experiments　included　root　tensile　tests　and　chemical　composition　analysis,　in　situ　direct　shear　tests　of　root-soil　composites　under　varying　moisture　conditions,　in　situ　double-ring　infiltration　tests,　and　root　profile　survey.　The　tensile　strength　of　P.　edulis　roots　ranged　from　11.6　to　34.10　MPa,　showing　a　negative　power-law　correlation　with　increasing　root　diameter.　Root　diameter　exhibited　a　significant　positive　power-law　correlation　with　cellulose　and　hemi-cellulose　content　and　a　significant　negative　power-law　correlation　with　lignin　content;　As　volumetric　moisture　content　increased　from　20　to　45%,　the　shear　strength　of　the　root-soil　composite　initially　rose　and　then　declined,　peaking　at　similar　to　25%　moisture　content.　Beyond　this　threshold,　shear　strength　decreased　significantly　as　moisture　content　rise;　P.　edulis　roots　significantly　enhanced　soil　infiltration　performance.　The　infiltration　rate　of　rooted　soil　at　0　m　was　the　highest　across　all　infiltration　stages,　with　its　saturated　hydraulic　conductivity　being　3.1　times　greater　than　that　of　soil　without　roots;　Rainfall-induced　water　infiltration　reduced　the　shear　strength　of　the　root-soil　composite.　Additionally,　the　infiltration-enhancing　effect　of　roots　made　the　interface　between　root-containing　and　root-free　soil　more　susceptible　to　becoming　a　slip　surface.
