Using multi-source remote sensing data – including Landsat and Sentinel-2 imagery – and employing Theil-Sen median analysis, the Mann–Kendall trend test, and Pearson correlation analysis, we comprehensively examined the spatial and temporal dynamics, as well as the driving forces, of Chl-a concentrations in medium and large lakes (lake area >10 km2) across China from 1986 to 2023. The results showed that, over the past four decades,
