Floating mats: their occurrence and influence on shoreline distribution of emergent vegetation
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was conducted on the northern shore of Lake Victoria (Uganda) to determine the factors controlling the occurrence of floating root mats and the influence of the floating mats on the distribution of emergent vegetation.

Shoreline vegetation distribution in relation to wave exposure and bay characteristics in a tropical great lake, Lake Victoria
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the assumption that wind-wave exposure is a major regulator of vegetation distribution within lakes and found that wave exposure is an important regulator of the within-lake distribution of vegetation.
