Re: Do plants make rain?
There was a few days ago an article on the BBC (internet), or was it science daily? about minute bacteria living on certain plants which were swept up into clouds and provided nuclei about which "rain" could form. It seems that these small beasties with a long Latin name have the capacity to increase the clouds temperature from -40 to -6 so "de freezing" the cloud! Another oddity about this lad is that it draws food from leaves by forming an ice cristal on/in the leafs cells so puncturing the cells to obtain its nutrients. Sorry can't be more helpful as to source.
