In order to strengthen organizational leadership, the State Council's Third National Soil Census Leading Group (hereinafter referred to as the Leading Group) was established to be responsible for the research and decision-making of major issues in the implementation of the census organization. The office of the leading group is located in the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and is responsible for the specific organization and coordination of the census work. The member units of the leading group should perform their respective duties, assume their own responsibilities, work together, and cooperate closely to strengthen technical guidance, information sharing, quality control, funding and material support, and other work. Provincial people's governments are the main body responsible for soil census work in their respective regions, and they should strengthen organizational leadership, systematic planning, and overall planning to ensure high-quality completion of census tasks. Local people's governments at all levels should establish corresponding census leading groups and their offices to be responsible for organizing and implementing census work in their respective areas. Each province (autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government) shall, in accordance with the unified requirements and in combination with the actual conditions of the region, prepare an implementation plan and report it to the Office of the Leading Group for the record.
V. Guarantee of Census Funds
The funds for this soil census shall be shared by the central and local finances according to the work tasks undertaken. The central government is responsible for the formulation of national technical regulations, the construction of platform systems, the production of work basemaps, the planning and layout of sampling points, etc.; responsible for technical training at the national level, expert guidance services, random inspection and verification of internal test results, data analysis and results summary. Local governments are responsible for field survey sampling, internal industry testing and testing, technical training, expert guidance services, data analysis and results summary in the region. Local people's governments at all levels should, in accordance with the work schedule, include funds in the corresponding annual budgets to guarantee them, and strengthen supervision and auditing. All localities may, in accordance with regulations, coordinate existing funding channels to support work related to soil censuses.
VI. Requirements for Census Work
All localities should strengthen the technical guidance of experts, the allocation of professional and technical personnel, and the training of census teams to ensure the specialization, standardization, and standardization of soil census.
