[Objective] The aim of this study is to explore the impact of land use change(LUC)on various hydrological variables in soil water balance as well as the mechanism of water cycle in loess region, and then to provide technical support for similar research. [Methods] We chose the Changwu loess tableland as the study area, and then collected soil samples from the surface down to 20 m under three land use types(farmland, 18-year apple orchard and 26-year apple orchard). Then, the content of soil water, stable(δ2H and δ18O)and radioactive(3H)isotopes were measured. The components of soil water balance were decomposed and quantified, and their responses to land use changes were evaluated. [Results] Compared with farmland, the soil water storage under apple orchard(stand age 18 and 26 years)decreased by 7.3%~14.3%, the deep drainage decreased by 41.2%~80.0%, and the evapotranspiration increased by 5.0%~9.6%, of which evaporation decreased by 8.6%~17.2%, while transpiration increased by 12.9%~25.4%. [Conclusion] There were significant differences in soil water contents under three land use types, and the soil water oxygen isotope profiles showed a general trend of decreasing and then stabilizing, with soil water subject to the strongest evaporation under farmland. Deep-rooted fruit trees mainly reduced the flux of other hydrological variables by increasing transpiration water consumption, which significantly affected the hydrological process.
