Assessment of climate variability and land use effect on shallow lakes in temperate plains of Argentina

The study found that the areal variation of shallow lakes in Argentina's temperate plains between 2002 and 2011 was more dependent on rainfall regime changes linked to ENSO events than on changes in land use intensity.

• The maximum area of shallow lakes was more closely linked to changes in the rainfall regime associated with ENSO events than to fluctuations in land use, such as the increase or decrease of cultivated areas.
• Specific ENSO events significantly impacted precipitation across the studied lake regions, with the El Niño event of 2002/3 corresponding to maximum lake areas in 2002 and the La Niña event of 2007/8 corresponding to minimum areas in 2008.
