Abstract

Reclamation Highlights: A gradual positive increase in plant community response to precipitation occurred over time, indicating long-term recovery of plant communities in response to reclamation efforts. There was a diminishing effect of aridity on reclamation outcomes over time, suggesting that water availability has a reduced impact on long-term reclamation success. Variations were discovered in reclamation success among different management actions, highlighting the need for coordinated strategies and enhanced operator communication to maximize the effectiveness of reclamation.
