Abstract: The large-scale exploitation of mineral resources deteriorates the environment of the mining area, with negative consequences on the healthy and sustainable development of the national economy. Improving the ecological compensation mechanism in the mining area is of great significance for governance, recovery and correction of natural resource destruction and environmental pollution, which is also the key to ensure sustainable development of the mining area. Here, we systematically reviewed the development history, the carrier and mode, and the standard and pattern of ecological compensation. Current researches still has some shortcomings in the theoretical research of ecological compensation. The research of ecological compensation theory is lagging behind empirical practice exploration. The research of ecological compensation standard of mineral resources in China lacks quantitative analysis. The study of quasimarket ecological compensation pattern needs to be promoted. For future study, more attention should be paid to the theory of ecological compensation, the quantitative research of ecosystem compensation standard, and the quasimarket ecological compensation pattern, with the aim to provide new guidance for ecological compensation and environmental remediation in mineral resources development area.
