AB  - To verify whether or not a pulling effect exists in the root system of <I>Petrocarya fraxinifolia </I>in the Roudsar, North Iran and to study the importance and size of this effect, a direct <I>in situ</I> test was led at a site in the Chaboksar Forests. The results from the site showed that, in the surface soil (0-30 cm), Side roots can provide a pull force of up to 522-788 N (Newtons) over a vertical cross-section area of 20-50 cm<SUP>2</SUP>, or an enhance in the pulling stability of the rooted soil by about 44.7%. The test results suggest that, together with the <I>Petrocarya fraxinifolia </I>vertical roots, which keep the little depth rooted soil zone to the deep and more stable soil mass, the side roots of the <I>Petrocarya</I>, with their pulling effect, are able to make less against little depth instability in the forest slopes, such as little depth slide, to a certain degree.
