		With soils, many texts still define soils as loose material of weathered rock and other minerals, and also partly decayed organic matter that covers large parts of the land surface on Earth {without proper respect to the living}.
		Yes, when a symplastless tree falls and soil contact is made, for a portion of its life, as a fallen tree, it serves as a storehouse for water, providing animals and plants with needed moisture at those dryer times (so called drought).
		This occurs when the soil is frozen and water absorption is stopped, yet the sunlight on the twigs and buds may cause drying of the tissues.

	Scientists dispel the mystery surrounding Stradivarius violins
		The Italian Antonius Stradivarius, 1644-1737, introduced a geometry and design that became the exemplar for all violin-makers.
		Few after the death of Stradivarius have managed to produce anything that even approaches his best work," says Mats Tinnsten, who, together with Associate Professor Peter Carlsson, is researching whether it is possible to copy Stradivarius violins with the aid of modern technology and powerful computers.
		The reason it is not possible to simply copy a top or an entire violin exactly is that it can never be assumed that the new top will have the same material properties as the old one.
