Brown rot fungi cause a type of wood decay characterized by carbohydrate degradation and lignin modification. The chemical and physical changes caused by brown rot are usually studied using bulk analytical methods, but these methods fail to consider

The moisture uptake of wood is influenced by accessible hydroxyl groups acting as sorption sites and the water-available cell wall space. To what extent do these mechanisms control the moisture uptake in wood need to be addressed. For this purpose, w

The uptake of moisture severely affects the properties of wood in service applications. Even local moisture content variations may be critical, but such variations are typically not detected by traditional methods to quantify the moisture content of
