I believe the exposed soils increase supply of aerosols into lower atmosphere during the dry days with the dust lingering for longer. For the same reason, due to scarcity of dust above sea the cloud droplets do struggle to form - the very idea of cloud seeding by adding salt crystals: marine cloud brightening. So, the effect does not particularly surprise me knowing how powdery the soils are there.
