Wind erosion is a multidimensional, dynamic process driven by natural and anthropogenic factors, but existing statistical methods struggle to capture its complex nonlinear relationships, resulting in incomplete quantification of drivers and their spatial variability. To address this, we integrate the Revised Wind Erosion Equation (RWEQ)model with explainable artificial intelligence to disentangle the spatiotemporal positive and negative effects of dominant drivers and their synergistic interactions in Inner Mongolia. Results show that, from 2000-2022, wind erosion has been decreasing on average by 1.1 t & centerdot;ha(-1)& centerdot;yr(-1), mainly in the western deserts and locally in Hulunbuir sandy land. Severe erosion is mostly due to nature (78.7%) rather than anthropogenic (21.3%). Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), clay content (CL), windy days (WD), precipitation (PRE), temperature (TEM), and sand content (SA) were found to be the most important drivers of wind erosion. Critical threshold conditions for severe wind erosion are NDVI < 0.14, CL < 12%, GD > 26, PRE < 73.15 mm, and SA > 66%. When there is a certain combination of variables, wind erosion risk is greatly increased, which mainly happens in the western part of Alxa, Bayannur, and the area near the desert edge. Wind erosion control should shift toward region-specific precision management, including engineering protection, optimized grazing management, and vegetation restoration.
