density change contrasting with the H MR images obtained during air-drying and from carbon dioxide gas pressure cycling, as seen in Figures 3A,B. Here, water density depletion with each cycle, as seen in Figure 3C, occurred at the periphery of the volume of earlywood, including the boundary with latewood, which is seen especially at the end of cycle three, where it aligns with the dewatering rate data shown in Figure 1a. At the end of the fourth cycle, the wood cell water had been reduced to Molecules 2020, 25, 5367 9 of 13 bound water only, as indicated by the dark image in Figure 3C, which also aligns with the moisture content at the fibre saturation point at the end of the fourth cycle, as shown in Figure 1a. 1 Figure 3. 1 H magnetic resonance images showing radiata pine sapwood specimens undergoing (A), Figure 3.
