Hydrological Controls and Climate–Land Surface Interactions Regulating Long‐Term Lake Area Dynamics Across the Mongolian Plateau

Lake area dynamics are sensitive indicators of hydroclimatic variability in cold‐arid regions. We reconstructed lake area changes across the Mongolian Plateau from 1990 to 2025 using Landsat imagery, JRC Global Surface Water, and HydroLAKES, and applied XGBoost and SHAP to examine associations with hydroclimatic, e...
