How should areas of bare soil, such as badlands, be tagged?
Currently there are documented tags for dry areas of bedrock, stones and sand:
natural=bare_rock, natural=shingle, natural=scree, and natural=sand
For tidal areas, beaches and wetlands

There are no official rulings in OpenStreetMap. Consensus develops
when mappers use and document tags in a consistent way.
This is probably the best forum for this question overall, though you
