Structural Wood Decay

Structural Wood Decay is a type of wood decay characterized by the progressive degradation of the load-bearing components of timber, primarily due to the enzymatic action of fungi that break down cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, thereby compromising the mechanical strength and integrity of wooden structures.
