The study of aquatic vegetation in the littoral of the dimictic water bodies of taiga is of particular interest in case of long-term observations carried out under conditions of climate fluctuations.

The area of littoral covered with ice in winter is also large in the low-water period; it affects the growth of perennial plants.
