+1, some ideas:

1. this could be mapped as "surface" with the disadvantage that "surface"
values are typically detailed, so it would impose the burden of doing
detailed mapping on the mapper

2. a new tag (e.g. "ground_cover") to say how area near the ground is made.
This tag would have more generalized values than what we find in "surface".

Cheers,
Martin
