The Norwegian Defence Construction Service is carrying out a lagre scale
experiment of noise propagation from explosions in a forest area. The scale
of interest is 0-12 km. The project involves  several research groups from
different diciplines in Europe and the USA. Obviously the vegetation (trees,
forest stands) is of importance for the propagation. I am utdated on the
litterature up to about 1975, and I have got the understanding that  simple
forest stand attributes such as tree height, density (basal area), tree
species, and volume are of great interest for propagation modeling. Do you
know of any further research within this field during the last 20 years
(references)?  Due to the scale and the monetary budget limitations the
project has to rely on aggregated  forest stand attributes such as those
mentioned earlier. "Micro"-studies are therefore not on the agenda.
