Abstract: Abstract: Climate change is one of the important driving factors affecting the ecosystem services. Sustainable development capacity was deeply affected by sustainable supply of ecosystem services under the influence of climate change. We analyzed the present situations and problems with current and forecast future research trends with regard to the impact of climate change on ecosystem services based on the analysis of existing research on the impact of climate change on ecosystem services nationally and globally. The primary contents of research on the impact of climate change on ecosystem services include the impacts of climate change on the supply levels, relationship between services, services management as well as impacts of extreme climate on ecosystem services. We think that climate change impacts on variation characteristics of supply levels of ecosystem services identifying types of trade-off and synergy and analysis of spatial patterns of these among ecosystem services on different scales should be strengthened. Furthermore, evaluation index systems and evaluation models for the sustainable management of ecosystem services under the influence of climate change on a global scale should be established. Meanwhile, protection planning for regional ecosystem services and research of the effects of extreme climate on the small scale and of future extreme climate on ecosystem services should be strengthened. Analyzing the impact of climate change on ecosystem services will elucidate the mechanisms of climate change in ecosystem services, and provide the scientific basis for the management of ecosystem services and forming of environmental protection policy.
