Mode of action of brown rot decay resistance in modified wood: A review [PDF]
, 2013 Chemically or physically modified wood materials have enhanced resistance to wood decay fungi. In contrast to treatments with traditional wood preservatives, where the resistance is caused mainly by the toxicity of the chemicals added, little is known ...

Critical moisture conditions for fungal decay of modified wood by basidiomycetes as detected by pile tests [PDF]
, 2015 The aim of cell wall modification is to keep wood moisture content (MC) below favorable conditions for decay organisms. However, thermally modified, furfurylated, and acetylated woods partly show higher MCs than untreated wood in outdoor exposure.
