EN

Hydration courses and proton free induction decays are recorded at 30 MHz for Usnea antarctica thalli hydrated from gaseous phase. NMR data combined with gravimetry allow one to distinguish two fractions of tightly bound water, and loosely bound/free water pool. No water fraction "sealed" in thallus structures is present in U. antarctica.
