Soil texture is anatural physical property ofsoil，which is influenced by various factors such asparentmaterial，topography，land usetypes，and soil erosion during the soil formation process. The soil exhibits different texture profile configurations. In order to understand the profile configurations and their distribution patterns in the Ningxia Hui AutonomousRegion，100 representative soil profiles wereexcavated，and atotal of 209layered(A+B)soil samples were collected by dividing the soil layers and testing their particle composition. The soil texture was classified according to the USA soil texture classification standard. The results are asfollows:(1)The soil types in Ningxia include 10types:siltyloam(SIL)， sandyloam(SL)，loam(L)，silty clayloam(SICL)，clayloam(CL)，loamysand(LS)，sandy(S)，silt(SI)，siltyclay(SIC)andclay(C). SIL is the dominant texturetype in both the A and B layers，followed by SL and L.(2)There are12 types of soil profileconfigurations，with SIL -SIL being the dominantconfiguration(38%)，followed by SL-SL(17%). Homogenous configurations accountfor 71% of all profile types，while loose above and compact below configurations account for13%，and compact above and loose below configurations account for16%.(3)SIL-SIL is the most typicalsoil profile configuration in Ningxia，mainly distributed in the southern region. L-L and L-SIL are mainly distributed in the northern and central regions. SL-SL and SL-SIL are mainly distributed in the central region. SICL-SICL and SICL-L aremainly distributed in the northernregion.(4)The dominant profile configurations for typical soils are SL-SL and SIL-SIL for calcareoussoils，SIL-SIL for loesssoils，SICL -SICL for alluvialsoils，SIL -SIL and L-SIL for gray-brownsoils， SIL-SIL and SICL-SICL for tidalsoils，and SIL -SIL for black soils. Among the major soil types inNingxia，black soils have astable environment，and their profile configurations are homogenous. Except for alluvial and tidal soils with SICL-SICL as the dominantconfiguration，most other soils in the study area are dominated by SIL-SIL or SL-SLconfigurations，matchingthe localclimate.(5)The distribution of soil profile configurations in the study area is mainly influenced by topography andaltitude. In the northernregion，the high clay contentin the soil is due to the deposition from the YellowRiver，resulting in SICL-SICL，SICL-L and SIL-SIL as the main configurations.
