We tested the effect of general flowering ( GF ), community‐wide masting, and drought stress on current‐year tree diameter growth and aboveground biomass increment ( ABI ). General flowering but not drought had a marginally significant negative effect on tree growth and ABI at the community level. Analyses of dominant species clarified this pattern.
