Wet storage of roundwood, 2004:p. 11 ("... the most common active method for protecting stored wood and maintaining the original quality of both pulpwood and timber is water sprinkling (wet storage) or woodpiles at the log yards ... wet storage, defined as sprinkling water on stored wood on-land to protect it ... Wet storage is here distinguished from water storage, i.e. ponding or submerging the wood in water.")

    • found: Storage of softwood logs, via WWW, July 2, 2007:Wet Storage ("When logs must be stored for long periods at temperatures above freezing, it is best to keep logs soaking wet. Storing logs under sprinklers or in a log pond helps prevent end checking and slows deterioration caused by insects, fungal stain, and decay ... Today, softwood logs decked in the log yard are typically protected by water sprinkling during warm weather. Sprinkling provides an effective method of reducing checking, sapwood stain, and decay.")
    • found: Microbial degradation of pulp wood : ultrastructural studies of post harvest changes in wood, via WWW, July 2, 2007(It is often necessary to store wood intended for industrial use in sawmills and pulp mills for shorter or longer periods. During this storage period, the logs are often water sprinkled during the warm season in order to prevent quality losses due to insect infestations and by staining fungi etc. Sprinkling is an efficient method to prevent losses related to the drying-out of logs. One drawback with water sprinkling and wet storage of wood in general, is the discolouration of the outer part of the xylem caused by the inward movement of substances from the bark. Water sprinkling and wet storage is also known to facilitate bacterial degradation of pit membranes in the wood.)
