No kidding. It wouldn't matter for temperature differentials to trap moisture. Stones do it in sand too. People here have no interest in how desert plants seek moisture, all they care about is this notion that individual plants can communicate patterns, bs.

Lots of good questions. If the entire area was covered with blown in sand dunes, maybe that? Maybe they're petrified. I don't know. It looks like a forest to me, and we won't know for sure until someone digs deeper than bugs might.

Looking at the area from Google Earth satellite imagery makes me wish someone would dig out one of the circles down to 200ft with a well drill. I think it looks like a buried forest. It would make more sense if that was true because of how capillary action for moisture around buried logs shows as deeper seasonal root matter presenting cyclical growth above the surface.
