Influence of storage on mould susceptibility of wood at relative humidity values lower than 100%

IRG/WP 1413

J Bjurman

It is well known that wood material changes with time because of different environmental influences. The effects of such changes on the subsequent mould susceptibility are less known. In this paper we report on increased mould susceptibility of pine wood after storage. Mould growth was detected by indirect methods.
