I could give it a try for you:

If some of your abilities “require dirt to work” (-20%), and others “work while in the desert only” (-40%) this is a -8% limitation.
The book says you could round this down to a -10%.
Huh? It's not either/or. It has nothing to do with dirt or being in a desert, it requires a substantial amount of sand, which is more difficult to arrange than having dirt or earth and less difficult than being in a desert.
