About

    Wood rot refers to the decomposition of wood by fungi and other microorganisms, causing wood to decay and weaken over time. This process is a common issue in buildings, furniture, and other wooden structures, leading to structural damage and potential health hazards. Research in the area of wood rot focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of decay, identifying different types of rot-causing fungi, developing prevention and treatment methods, and exploring ways to prolong the lifespan of wooden materials. This research aims to improve the durability and sustainability of wood products and structures, as well as to protect against potential dangers associated with wood rot.
