This paper reviews the existing knowledge and a number of controversial issues concerning the relationship between wood and moisture, around basic concepts such as adsorption/desorption, capillary condensation, and the fiber saturation point. It starts with characteristics of wood micro-structure, with a focus on the pores in cell walls, followed by sorption in wood cell walls, the potential for vapour condensation at high relative humidity (RH) conditions, the measurement of wood equilibrium moisture content (EMC) at different RH levels and the concept of fiber saturation point. The discussion is then focused on the potential impact of a number of wood structure and use-related factors on the measurement of EMC under near-saturated RH cond...
