Remote sensing is a detection technology that has gained increasing prominence due to the global climate change and the degradation of ecosystems. In an effort to examine the current state of research and key areas of interest regarding remote sensing in the domain of ecological services, the core collection database of WOS papers was employed for retrieval. This involved querying papers published between 1994 and 2023 using specific keywords. Utilizing the literature analysis tools and Histcite provided by WOS, an analysis was conducted on the publication and citation trends among fundamental knowledge papers over different years, countries, journals, and academic disciplines. Subsequently, the CiteSpace software was utilized to identify research hotspots and create a knowledge map. The study's findings indicate that China holds a leading position in global remote sensing research related to ecological services. Moreover, there has been a notable increase in research activities concerning remote sensing in the ecological services field, accompanied by shifts in research focus. More and more studies are now directed towards addressing challenges posed by climate change, conserving biodiversity, establishing patterns for ecological security, and promoting ecological protection and restoration. These areas have emerged as prominent frontiers in this field.
