Moisture can influence the behavior of the wood substrate so that deterioration of the paint film is increased. Springwood and summerwood are of different densities and porosities, and moisture enters springwood more readily and to a greater extent than it enters summerwood. This difference gives rise to a differential swelling, called "grain raising" or "grain swelling", that puts undue localized mechanical strains on coatings that are applied to the wood. 2, record 3, English, - grain%20raising

Dry land salinization occurs following a shift from native vegetation to annual grain crops which use less water. More water percolates into the soils raising the water table. The higher water table results in more areas where the water comes to the surface and evaporates leaving the salts behind. 1, record 4, English, - dry%20land%20salinization
