I think this is a great example why more specific tags are advisable to use in OSM than a generic bare ground tag.
What this picture shows is commonly known as desert pavement:

Apart from varying in size distribution and density as well as material of the stones these form a fairly characteristic surface that can and should be mapped distinctly. As size of the larger stones strongly affects navigability, specifying that would be a valuable supplemental tag.
