Annual reconstruction of seasonal isolated lakes reveals historical contraction and restoration baselines in the Poyang Lake floodplain.
Seasonal isolated lakes (SILs) are shallow water bodies defined by their temporary hydrological disconnection from the main lake and river network, yet their long-term abundance, turnover, and spatial legacy remain poorly resolved. Using a fused daily 30 m Seamless Data Cube (2000-2022), we extracted surface water, ide...
