National parks, as an important type of nature reserve, are crucial for maintaining the balance between human society and the natural system. The ecosystem service (ES) value of national parks holds significant guiding significance for the protection effectiveness and sustainable management of national parks. We summarize the relevant research achievements on the ESs of national parks from 2000 to the present, elaborating in detail on three aspects: ecosystem service assessment, trade-offs and synergies of ecosystem services, and driving factors of ecosystem service functions, and point out their shortcomings. The aim is to provide a reference for the sustainable development and scientific planning of national parks in China.
