Abstract

Competing influences on tropical forest productivity, such as changes in temperature, light and precipitation, can be difficult to disentangle. Now, analysis of how clouds, temperature and precipitation affect flower production in two contrasting tropical forests indicates that temperature is a critically important variable for tropical forest flower production.
