The applicability of two water sorption models (GDW and GAB) to description of selected multi-temperature data of water sorption on wood is presented. From the obtained best fit parameters the plots of isosteric sorption enthalpy are generated. According to our knowledge this is the first report showing the enthalpy of water sorption on wood. The obtained results lead to a general mechanism of water sorption on studied materials. Finally, we show that Hailwood and Horrobin equation, which is widely applied in wood science, is a special case of the GDW model.
