Urban parks play an important role in urban ecosystems with multifunctional services. Park size is one of the important attributes to explain the potential capacity of urban parks. In recent years, the number of studies that focus on the relationship between park size and ecosystem services in the context of ecosystem services has been increasing. This study aims to focus on investigating the relationship between ecosystem services and urban park size. The Web of Science online databases were searched using the keywords "green space", "size" and "urban" as well as related terms. A total of 129 papers meeting the inclusion criteria were examined within the scope of the research aims. The results obtained from the systematic search were summarized and presented in the three categories with sub-categories: (i) cultural services with sub-categories of physical activity (n = 42) and housing prices (n = 10), (ii) supporting services with sub-categories of fauna (n = 44), and flora (n = 3) and (iii) regulating services with sub-categories of microclimate (n = 25) and air quality (n = 5). The results indicated that park size influences a wide range of services by providing more spaces for physical activities, increasing housing prices, creating habitats for birds, insects, and bats, and effects on their richness, diversity and density, increasing the cooling effect capacity and reducing air pollution of urban parks. In conclusion, a comprehensive approach is needed, recognizing the potential of both large and small green spaces to optimize ecosystem services delivery, promote resilience, and enhance urban well-being. This includes considering supply and demand aspects and improving measurement methods. Furthermore, exploring optimal improvements across diverse park sizes remains a promising avenue for research, contributing to the development of more efficient urban green spaces.
城市公园在城市生态系统中具有多种功能服务，起着重要作用。公园规模是解释城市公园潜在能力的重要属性之一。近年来，越来越多的研究关注生态系统服务背景下公园规模与生态系统服务之间的关系。本研究旨在关注调查生态系统服务与城市公园规模之间的关系。本研究通过使用“绿地”、“规模”和“城市”以及相关术语作为关键词，在 Web of Science 在线数据库中进行了搜索。在研究目的范围内，共检查了符合纳入标准的 129 篇论文。系统搜索得出的结果被总结并呈现为三个类别，每个类别都有子类别：（i）文化服务，包括身体活动（n=42）和住房价格（n=10）两个子类别；（ii）支持服务，包括动物群（n=44）和植物群（n=3）两个子类别；（iii）调节服务，包括小气候（n=25）和空气质量（n=5）两个子类别。结果表明，公园规模通过提供更多的体育活动空间、提高住房价格、为鸟类、昆虫和蝙蝠创造栖息地，以及对它们的丰富度、多样性和密度产生影响，影响着广泛的服务。此外，公园规模的增加还能提高冷却效果的能力，并减少城市公园的空气污染。总之，需要采取综合方法，认识到大型和小型绿地的潜力，以优化生态系统服务的提供，促进城市的恢复力和提高居民的幸福感。这包括考虑供应和需求方面，并改进测量方法。此外，探索不同规模公园的最佳改进仍然是一个有前途的研究领域，有助于开发更高效的城市绿地。
