1. Eutrophication is a major threat for freshwater ecosystems. Submerged aquatic plants (macrophytes) can maintain clear water conditions in eutrophic lakes by competing with phytoplankton for light and nutrients. The interactions between macrophytes and phytoplankton may lead to indirect facilitation among plants and the maintenance of high macrophyte diversities in eutrophic conditions. Nonetheless, the role of indirect facilitation in promoting macrophyte‐dominated clear water states under eutrophication has never been demonstrated experimentally despite important implications for these ecosystems.
