To better explore the effects of land use change on ecosystem service of regional soil conservation before and after Grain for Green Project (GFGP) in Yan’an, the InVEST model was used to evaluate the change of land use, soil erosion and soil retention from 2000 to 2015. The model took into consideration of such important hydrological processes as sediment delivery and deposition when computing soil conservation, therefore, it is accurate in terms of soil retention. The results showed that:(1) over the past 15 years, all types of land use underwent change at various degrees, the woodland had increased by 3 142.25 km2, which mainly derived from farmland and grassland; the farmland had decreased by 3 011.27 km2 because most of farmland changed into woodland and grassland; (2) most areas in Yan’an belonged to the slight or moderate degree of erosion; the total soil erosion rates in 2000 and 2015 were 220 million tons and 138 million tons, respectively; over the 15-year period, all types of erosion intensity had the tendency of change towards the lower degree; (3) the amounts of soil retention in 2000 and 2010 were 772 million tons and 850 million tons, respectively, and the amounts of soil retention tended to increase from northeast to southwest. Woodland and grassland had the best abilities to conserve soil, which indicated that the advancement of GFGP was the important way to increase the function of regional soil conservation.
