中文摘要：

随着人类面临的生态环境问题加重,生态补偿已成为国内外学者广泛关注的热点问题。为清晰地了解国内外生态补偿的研究现状和未来发展,以Web of Science、中文社会科学引文索引（CSSCI）数据库中1998～2011年有关生态补偿的929篇文献为基础,应用CiteSpace Ⅱ软件分析了论文发表数量、文献共被引和关键词共现等特征,并以知识图谱可视化的方式,归纳了近年来生态补偿的重要学术文献和生态补偿领域的研究热点。结果表明：1998～2011年,生态补偿论文数量呈现波动增长趋势;全球气候变化背景下碳汇、REDD生态补偿,生态补偿分区及实施后的评价,湿地、自然保护区、流域尺度生态系统服务功能评估与补偿标准,计算机软件如GIS、SWAT、In-VEST等在生态补偿中的应用是当前生态补偿的研究热点。相对于国外而言,国内生态补偿的理论研究较多;但近年来在森林、流域、自然保护区和湿地等方面的实践探索得到了加强。

英文摘要：

With the aggravation of the ecological and environmental problems faced by humanity,the ecological compensation has become a hot topic of widespread concerns amongst domestic and foreign scholars.In order to understand the advances of ecological compensation,we carries out statistical analysis about the time of its publication based on 929documents from Web of Science and the Chinese Social Science Citation Index（CSSCI） database on the subject of ecology compensation in the time period of 1998-2011,and analyzes co-citation of literary documents and keyword co-occurrence using the CiteSpace Ⅱ software.Meanwhile,the key scholarly documents are listed,and research topics of eco-compensation are briefly concluded using knowledge mapping visual tool.We found the number of ecological compensation paper presented the trend of fluctuation growth from 1998to 2011.Research on eco-compensation of carbon sinks and REDD in the context of global climate change,eco-compensation zones and evaluation on the implementation of ecological compensation,strengthening the ecological compensation standards of the wetlands,nature reserves,watersheds and other ecosystem,application of computer management software（such as GIS,SWAT,InVEST） would become the focus issues in the future research on eco-compensation.Our results also showed that the domestic scholars had made great progress in the theory of eco-compensation,and the practice researches in forests,watersheds,nature reserves and other areas were strengthened in recent years.
