Abstract: Ecosystem service functions and its valuation around the world were reviewed in this paper. The conception and the characteristics of the ecosystem services in the reclaimed mining areas were proposed，and it classified service functions as product supplying，ecological regulating and cultural educating. Meanwhile，the research analyzed the problems in current research. For example，the research on formation mechanism of this ecosystem services，the evaluation theory and methods need to be improved，but the valuation is inaccurate. So the future research on this valuation should be focused on the theory exploration and method improvement，commencing with the microcosmic formation mechanism to carry out valuation research on different scales and types of ecosystem services in the reclaimed mining areas. By considering sufficiently the factors influencing its value，the means，method and technique of evaluation were improved，which make the results more comparative and practicable. It provides the theoretical basis and technical support for developing and utilizing mineral resources，and achieving the sustainable development of eco-mining.
