I've looked for published scientific work on this and all I've found 
addresses VHF/UHF (either military, 2-way, or cellular applications). What 
I've seen generally agrees that absorption that increases with frequency, 
and that correlates with my experience. Can you point me to anything that 
addresses MF or HF in forests and heavy vegetation?
