SOUND TRANSMISSION THROUGH VEGETATION IN RELATION TO LEAF AREA DENSITY, LEAF WIDTH, AND BREADTH OF CANOPY - WITH DISCUSSION

TRANSMISSION OF RANDOM NOISE THROUGH DENSE REEDS (PHRAGMITES COMMUNIS) WAS MEASURED. THE GROUND SURFACE WAS WATER AND THUS GROUND ATTENUATION COULD BE CLOSELY DETERMINED. A SINGLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEAF AREA DENSITY, BREADTH OF CANOPY, LEAF WIDTH, AND FREQUENCY IS PRESENTED, WHICH ALLOWS THE ATTENUATION DUE TO A STAND OF HERBACEOUS PLANTS TO BE ESTIMATED. /AUTHOR/
