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.
