Biogeomorphic feedback between plant growth and flooding causes alternative stable states in an experimental floodplain

文摘

We test biogeomorphic alternative stable states by flume experiments with alfalfa.

Thresholds in plant growth and flooding magnitude determine seedling survival.

A bimodal distribution of vegetation biomass indicates two alternative states.

The spatial pattern formation facilitates the establishment of the vegetated state.

We provide empirical indicators for biogeomorphic alternative stable states.
