Why does water on tarp evaporate slower than water on wood?

436 views

I have a deck that’s part covered by a tarp and part covered by wood. No heating sources are nearby. After rainfall, the water standing on wood evaporates significantly faster than the water standing on the tarp.

What is the mechanism that’s causing this?

Wood is porous. Are you sure it’s not just absorbing and/or seeping through?
