The field plot survey data of groundwater-dependent vegetation collected during 2021–2022 in the middle and lower reaches of the Shule River Basin, northwestern China, were used for machine learning identification in the study “Quantifying Ecohydrological Boundaries of Groundwater-Dependent Vegetation Restoration in a Hyper-Arid Endorheic Basin of Northwestern China.” B denotes vegetation that is partially groundwater-dependent, N indicates non-groundwater-dependent vegetation, and Y represents groundwater-dependent vegetation.
