Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) refer to the intangible benefits derived from atural and semi-natural ecosystems, including aesthetic enjoyment, cultural identity, education, and recreation. This study aims to explore global research trends in CES from 2007 to 2023 through a bibliometric analysis of articles in the Scopus database. The data collection in this research involved retrieving 1,319 documents from the Scopus database using the search term "cultural ecosystem service", followed by manual screening to exclude irrelevant publications. The data analysis utilized bibliometric methods with VOSviewer for knowledge mapping and network analysis, incorporating quantitative techniques such as co-occurrence, co-authorship, and citation analysis, as well as fractional and full counting approaches. The results show that CES research has grown significantly over the past decade, with the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, China, and Italy emerging as the leading nations in terms of publication output. Wageningen Universitywas identified as the top institution producing CES-related research. The article “Ecosystem service bundles for analyzing trade-offs in diverse landscapes” by Raudsepp-Hearne et al. in 2010 received the highest number of citations. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the development and focus areas of CES research, highlighting the importance of collaboration across nations and disciplines. The findings suggest that future research should expand beyond current geographical clusters and address underrepresented regions to ensure a more holistic understanding of CES. © 2025 Institute of Physics Publishing.
