Dear Authors:

Thank you for contribution to Biogeosceinecs and for sending your comments as replies to referees. Also, I appreciate your patience, because I needed to wait additional comments from anonymous referees.
The referees evaluated the research topic of multistability of vegetation distribution positively in general, but also suggested necessity of improving readability (e.g., many abbreviations and interpretation of Table 3). I understand that you made great efforts to polish up the manuscript, but still I appreciate your additional efforts to further improve clarity and readability. Restructuring of the manuscript (e.g., shortening or merge of Conclusion sections) is also highly encouraged. After studying your replies, I conclude that you would submit a revised manuscript as explained in your comments. My decision is “minor revision” but you may need thorough refinement.

Dear Authors:
Thank you for send the revised manuscript, in which referee comments were adequately reflected. The referees have not send any additional comments, and after studying the manuscript, I conclude that the manuscript is acceptable for publication with technical corrections.

Technical corrections
1. Supplementary_Tables.pdf. For clarification, please use figure and table numbers different from those in the main text: for example, Figure S1 and Table S1.
2. Supplementary_Tables.pdf. Please explain the colors (green and purple) used in Figure 1 (looks like a table) in the caption.
