[Objective] The research aimed to study the effects of vegetation coverage on the changes of soil moisture in rainy season in dry-hot valley. [Method] The surface runoff and soil moisture of slope with vegetation coverage and bare land in rainy reason in Jinsha River at Yuanmou County of Yunnan Province were observed continuously. And the statistical analysis was made on the observation data. [Result] The vegetation coverage could decrease surface runoff and the surface runoff on bare land (CK) was 22 times as the plot with vegetation coverage. The soil water content in 0-180 cm layer with vegetation coverage increased by 37.8% than bare land. The stability of soil moisture content in deep layer was enhanced and the physical properties stability of soil was maintained. The soil moisture content in different depth of soil had significant difference and the changes of soil moisture content were obviously different. [Conclusion] The vegetation coverage of slope could change the soil hydrology obviously and keep soil moisture at the higher level，especially at soil layer below 20 cm.
