Moisture will speed up the degradation process and also allow mold and bacteria to grow. One problem with storing nuts in a root cellar, though, is humidity. Most root cellars need to be around 80% humidity to keep vegetables fresh. By contrast, nuts need a humidity of 55-70%. This room humidity will keep the nutmeat at its ideal humidity of 4-8% (hazelnuts and macadamia nuts need higher humidity).
