- •
Biophysical indicators are developed for land reclamation.
- •
We create a typology of assemblages at the watershed, landform and ecosite scales.
- •
Despite subtle topography, distinct classes of biophysical features are delineated.
- •
Reclamation targets need to be based on quantitative hierarchical indicators.
