 reed storage

Hi! Does anyone know the optimum humidity to store reeds? This article, http://idrs.colorado.edu/Publications/Journal/JNL3/storage.html , suggests 75% relative humidity, but this is above the optimum humidity for mold growth, which is 70% according to http://homeenergy.org/archive/hem.dis.anl.gov/eehem/95/951108.html .
Is there really any irreversible damage done to reeds stored in too dry an environment?

Also, why is it that some reedgards do not have a completely flat surface and will the pressure that keeps the reed in the reedgard, which is exerted on the lower portion of the vamp, affect the reed detrimentally?
