In recent decades, research on ecosystem services and ecological compensation has increasingly become a focal area in ecological research in the face of the degrading ecological environment. Recently, some institutions and studies have paid attention to ecosystem services and ecological compensation at World Heritage (WH) sites. However, no comprehensive literature review has covered ecosystem services and ecological compensation research at WH sites. To fill this gap, this study conducts a systematic literature review based on 115 related articles retrieved from the Web of Science database and CNKI database. First, quantitative research was conducted to analyze the annual numbers, content, country and institution of the published literature, and a word cloud was generated to summarize the keywords. Second, the main progress and achievements in ecosystem services and ecological compensation of WH sites were classified and summarized. Finally, in view of the existing research on ecosystem services and ecological compensation of WH sites, this study proposed eight key scientific issues that remain to be addressed, as well as directions for future research.

在最近的几十年中，面对生态环境恶化的问题，生态系统服务和生态补偿的研究已日益成为生态研究的重点领域。近来，一些机构和研究已经关注了世界遗产（WH）站点中的生态系统服务和生态补偿。但是，尚无全面的文献综述涵盖WH站点的生态系统服务和生态补偿研究。为了填补这一空白，本研究基于从Web of Science数据库和CNKI数据库检索到的115条相关文章进行了系统的文献综述。首先，进行了定量研究，以分析已发表文献的年度数字，内容，国家和机构，并生成了一个词云来概括关键词。第二，归纳总结了WH区生态系统服务和生态补偿的主要进展和成就。最后，鉴于对WH站点的生态系统服务和生态补偿的现有研究，本研究提出了八个有待解决的关键科学问题，以及未来研究的方向。
