Conclusions Experiments at 1–5 kbar on a natural granitic system do not show a clear trend in total OH defect content in quartz, and the average defect water content is around 200 μg/g.

The sentences
In combination with earlier studies that revealed a negative trend in the adjacent pressure range from 5–25 kbar (Baron et al. 2015 ; Frigo et al. 2016 ), the new data indicate a narrow interval of highly favourable pressure conditions for OH defect incorporation in quartz at 4–5 kbar.
