    Mongolian Plateau
    The Mongolian Plateau is the part of the Central Asian Plateau
    lying between 37°46′-53°08′N and 87°40′-122°15′E and having
    an area of approximately 3,200,000 square kilometres
    (1,200,000 sq mi). 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 and Khentii mountains to
    the north.[1] 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.[1]

    Politically, the plateau is divided between Mongolia, China and


    Russia. In China, parts of the Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang
    Mongolian Plateau
    autonomous regions lie on the plateau. In Russia, the plateau
    forms part of Buryatia and the southern Irkutsk Oblast. Traditional Chinese 蒙古⾼原

    History
    The plateau was inhabited and conquered by various groups, including (chronologically) the
    Xiongnu, Xianbei, Göktürks, Tang dynasty, Liao dynasty, Mongol Empire, and Qing dynasty.

    Changing environment
    Many lakes on the Mongolian Plateau such as Qagaan Nurr and XinKai Lake, have shrunk by two-
    thirds of their surface area. Some have dried up completely; the Huangqihai Lake and Naiman Xihu
    dried up entirely between 1980 and 2010. While a few lakes such as East Juyan Lake and Had Paozi
    have grown, on average the total surface area of lakes has shrank by 30%.[2][3]
