The '''Mongolian Plateau''' is the part of the [[Central Asia|Central Asian Plateau]] lying between 37°46′-53°08′N and 87°40′-122°15′E and having an area of approximately {{convert|3200000|km2|mi2}}. It is bounded by the [[Greater Hinggan Mountains]] in the east, the [[Yin Mountains]] to the south, the [[Altai Mountains]] to the west, and the [[Sayan Mountains|Sayan]] and [[Khentii Mountains|Khentii]] mountains to the north.<ref name="Zhang">{{cite journal|title=NDVI spatial pattern and its differentiation on the Mongolian Plateau|first=Xueyan|last=Zhang|first2=Yunfeng|last2=Hu|first3=Dafang|last3=Zhuang|first4=Yongqing|last4=Qi|first5=Xin|last5=Ma|journal=Journal of Geographical Sciences|year=2009|volume=19|publisher=Springer-Verlag|page=405|doi=10.1007/s11442-009-0403-7}}</ref> The plateau includes the [[Gobi Desert]] as well as dry steppe regions. It has an elevation of roughly 1,000 to 1,500 meters, with the lowest point in [[Hulunbuir]] and the highest point in Altai.<ref name="Zhang"/>

Politically, the plateau is divided between [[Mongolia]], [[China]] and [[Russia]]. In China, parts of the [[Inner Mongolia]] and [[Xinjiang]] autonomous regions lie on the plateau. In Russia, the plateau forms part of [[Buryatia]] and the southern [[Irkutsk Oblast]].

==Changing environment==
Many lakes on the Mongolian Plateau including [[Qagaan Nurr]] and [[XinKai Lake]] have shrunk by two-thirds of their surface area or have dried up completely, for example [[Huangqihai Lake]] and [[Naiman Xihu]], over the period from the 1980s to 2010. While a few lakes such as [[East Juyan Lake]] and [[Had Paozi]] have grown, on average the total surface area of lakes has shrunk by 30%.<ref>{{cite web|title=Shrinking Lakes on the Mongolian Plateau|url=http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=85665|publisher=[[NASA]]|accessdate=26 November 2016|date=8 April 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last1=Tao|first1=Shengli|last2=Fang|first2=Jingyun|last3=Zhao|first3=Xia|last4=Zhao|first4=Shuqing|last5=Shen|first5=Haihua|last6=Hu|first6=Huifeng|last7=Tang|first7=Zhiyao|last8=Wang|first8=Zhiheng|last9=Guo|first9=Qinghua|title=Rapid loss of lakes on the Mongolian Plateau|journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences|pages=2281–2286|doi=10.1073/pnas.1411748112|date=17 February 2015|pmid=25646423|pmc=4343146|volume=112}}</ref>
