Stony soils are soils where stones or rocks are found on or in the surface layer of the soil. This is usually due to glacial deposits or in areas of past fluvial deposits and reworking, where historical riverine action and meandering channels has resulted to varying degrees in sorting of rock and sediment by size. 1, record 2, English, - stony%20soil

Sols pierreux : les pierres ou les roches de ces sols se trouvent sur ou dans la couche superficielle. Ce type de sols est habituellement attribuable aux dépôts glaciaires.

Research has shown that using a dawn simulator (or Bodyclock) can significantly reduce the severity of SAD [seasonal affective disorder] symptoms, and many SAD sufferers use both a Bodyclock and a lightbox to optimise their treatment. It has also been shown that using a Bodyclock improves mood, energy, productivity and quality of sleep and awakening. 3, record 4, English, - dawn%20simulator
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Bodyclocks work by waking you up naturally with light. You choose the time you want to wake up and the light very slowly begins to get brighter (like a sunrise) and starts your body's natural wake-up process. Although you're still asleep, your body is responding to the increasing light and when the light reaches full brightness you wake up naturally, not suddenly, to a room filled with a sunny glow. By giving your body a kind of "head-start," instead of still feeling drowsy and confused when you wake up, you feel refreshed, positive and ready for the day ahead. 3, record 4, English, - dawn%20simulator
