"Can't you get extra illumination from reflections off water etc?" In real life yes. In bryce only with true ambience and you don't want too much ambience on a waterplane, because that doesn't look very nice. Plus you don't want to render a forrest with True ambience. The render would never be finished before the deadline. Night scenes have moonlight from the bryce moon.
