中文摘要：

选取《中国学术文献网络出版总库》文献，从文献作者、研究领域、支撑平台、研究方法、研究区域、研究层次6个方面，对1987-2012年国内生态补偿研究进行评析。在文献作者方面，国内生态补偿研究尚未形成强大的核心作者群；从年度文献数量看，可将研究领域划分为4种类型，即急剧上升型、平缓上升型、平缓稳定型和下降型；从研究区域看，国内生态补偿研究以省域层面的研究成果较多，涉及到30多个地域类型区；在研究方法上，早期研究生态补偿大多为定性描述，目前过渡到定性与定量研究相结合；在研究层次方面，最初生态补偿研究大多为自然科学类基础与应用基础研究，后转向技术指导与政策决策支撑方面的社会科学应用研究。最后，从研究领域、研究区域、研究方法、项目支撑以及研究挑战5个方面讨论了国内生态补偿研究的未来发展趋势。

英文摘要：

For the numerous science and technology achievements, literature is one of the main documentation tools, which shows origination, developmental process and characteristics, and social values of the scientific re- searches. In order to promote the development of academic research preferably focusing on eco-compensation, there is an urgent need to comb through recent research progress. In this paper, through review and reflection, summaries and forward looking, we hope to provide a clear view of the direction, key points and existing issues of research on eco-compensation. In this paper, based on the literature during 1987-2012 in ＂China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database＂, by using the methods of data statistics, induction and analysis, we first reviewed status and development of eco-compensation research in China from following aspects： literature author, re- search field, support platform, research method, research region and research level. Then, we analyzed evolve- ment features of eco-compensation research in China during 1987-2012. （1） In the aspect of literature author, the majority and key group of the researchers are the middle-aged and elderly scientists who possess profound quali- fication, and the next group of the researchers are in the ones in the phase of career training and development, who had not yet formed a powerful leading author group. （2） In the aspect of research field, there are about 9 hot research fields in China＇s eco-compensation research, which are eco-compensation mechanism, eco-compensa- tion and ecological construction and environmental protection, eco-compensation measure and pattern, legal sys- tem of eco-compensation, eco-compensation and sustainable development, eco-compensation in river basin, stan- dard of eco-compensation, forest eco-compensation, ecosystem service value and eco-compensation. And in the aspect of annual number of publications, we can divide the research fields into 4 types： fast-increase type, slow-increase type, steady type and descend
