Wood Deterioration 2

[connect2]

Does anybody know if they atmospheric moisture content surrounding wood cna be so high that fungis and molds can not survive? Almost as though the wood is submerged and no oxygen is present?
If this is the case what would be the atmospheric moisture content that would make this so?

Thanks.

This will not happen... else the tree and any humans around the tree would expire... we need a little oxygen to carry on... Generally the higher the relative humidity, the greater the rot potential... and the reason why many 'rainforest' type trees have excellent rot resistance.

Dik is correct. The higher the relative humidity, the more fungal growth. The most humid regions of the world have the most problems with mold.
