Remote-sensing monitoring of desertification and exploration of the drivers behind it are important for effectively combating this issue. In this study, four banners\/counties on the border of China and Mongolia on the Mongolian Plateau were selected as the target areas. We explored desertification dynamics and their drivers by using remote sensing imagery and a product dataset for the East Ujimqin Banner and three counties in Mongolia during the period 2000\u20132015. First, remote sensing information on desertification in the fourth phase of the study area was extracted using the visual interpretation method. Second, the dynamic change characteristics of desertification were analyzed using the intensity analysis method. Finally, the drivers of desertification and their explanatory powers were identified using the geographical detector method. The results show that the desertification of the East Ujimqin Banner has undergone a process of reversion, development, and mild development, with the main transition occurring between slight (SL) and non-desertified land (N), very serious desertified land (VS), and water areas. The dynamics of desertification in this region are influenced by a combination of natural and anthropogenic factors. Desertification in the three counties of Mongolia has undergone processes of development, mild development and mild development with SL and vs. as the main types. Desertification in Mongolia is mainly concentrated in Matad County, which is greatly affected by natural conditions and has little impact from anthropogenic activities. In addition, the change intensity of desertification dynamics in the study area showed a decreasing trend, and the interaction between natural and anthropogenic drivers could enhance the explanatory power of desertification dynamics. The research results provide a scientific basis for desertification control, ecological protection, and ecological restoration on the Mongolian Plateau.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14246365","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,16]],"date-time":"2022-12-16T03:55:39Z","timestamp":1671162939000},"page":"6365","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Assessment of Land Desertification and Its Drivers on the Mongolian Plateau Using Intensity Analysis and the Geographical Detector Technique"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6077-8429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yongfang","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geographical Science, Inner Mongolia Normal University, Hohhot 010022, China"},{"name":"Inner Mongolia Key Laboratory of Disaster and Ecological Security on the Mongolia Plateau, Hohhot 010022, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Mongolian Plateau\u2019s Climate System, Hohhot 010022, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1175-8207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Enliang","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geographical Science, Inner Mongolia Normal University, Hohhot 010022, China"},{"name":"Inner Mongolia Key Laboratory of Disaster and Ecological Security on the Mongolia Plateau, Hohhot 010022, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2842-3369","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yao","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geographical Science, Inner Mongolia Normal University, Hohhot 010022, China"},{"name":"Inner Mongolia Key Laboratory of Disaster and Ecological Security on the Mongolia Plateau, Hohhot 010022, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haowen","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Geographical Science, Inner Mongolia Normal University, Hohhot 010022, China"},{"name":"Inner Mongolia Key Laboratory of Disaster and Ecological Security on the Mongolia Plateau, Hohhot 010022, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Negash, S.G.
