Very misleading title. Barren soil is barren soil. Desert is a classification based on rainfall. Dumping ground is/was not a desert.

- 7e 2y agoYou could call it a “ecological desert”, but that said, it’s not even the title of TFA, which is more accurate.
- metadat 2y agoThanks, I wasn't happy with the title either, for what is otherwise a decent article. TFA's title exceeded the HN limit, so I've done what I can.
- dang 2y agoOk, we've put the barren pasture the article talks about back in the title above.
