Used for where surface is exposed earth/soil/dirt but it is not sand or gravel or rock. This tag is an exact synonym of surface=earth and likely a synonym of surface=dirt too. Note however, that dirt is the most used tag of the three and soil the less used.

• Use surface=sand for sand surface
• Use surface=compacted where gravel and binder was rolled into a compacted surface
• Use surface=gravel for surface covered with gravel
• Use surface=fine_gravel for surfaces covered with fine gravel
• Use surface=mud if surface is typically a mud

See surface=* for overview of all surfaces including paved ones.
