Soil Erosion Risk Assessment in Uganda (2017, unknown): “High levels of eutrophication and water hyacinth infestation in Lake Victoria were attributed to soil erosion due to unsustainable agricultural practices in the East African region [12,13].”
Invasive species, climate change and ecosystem-based adaptation : addressing multiple drivers of global change (2010, background): “In all likelihood, the observed decline was due to a combination of various factors, most notably biocontrol and El Niño climate conditions, and to a lesser extent, mechanical removal (Albright et al. 2004, Williams et al. 2007).”
The decline of water hyacinth on Lake Victoria was due to biological control by Neochetina spp. (2007, background): “Indeed, Albright et al. (2004) suggest this may explain the reduction in water hyacinth on the Tanzanian side in 1998 and the increase in the relatively sheltered Winam Gulf, which would have received plants blown in by the prevailing winds.”
