The Importance of Moisture for Brown Rot Degradation of Modified Wood: A Critical Discussion
The effect of wood modification on wood-water interactions in modified wood is poorly understood, even though water is a critical factor in fungal wood degradation. A previous review suggested that decay resistance in modified wood is caused by a reduced wood moisture content (MC) that inhibits the...
