We studied the impact of urbanization on ecosystem services value, and provided a reference for the sustainable development of cities in the future. The prefecture-level cities in China were took as the research units, data on urbanization indicators and national land use data from 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015 were used. Through correlation calculation and SPSS correlation analysis, the urbanization level characteristics of China’s prefecture-level cities, the change of ecosystem service value and the correlation between them can be quantitatively evaluated. The results showed that:(1) the urbanization level of China’s major prefecture-level cities was gradually increasing, and the urbanization process was characterized by stages; the spatial pattern of urbanization was characterized by high value agglomeration, forming the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and other comprehensive urbanization level high value gathering area; (2) the values of ecosystem services in China had decreased by 110 billion 568 million yuan in the past 5 years, with an average annual decrease of 4 billion 423 million yuan, showing a decreasing trend; the spatial distribution of ecosystem service values in different levels of cities were quite different, and the overall spatial distribution showed the trend of the high level in the west, low level in the east, high level in the north and the low level in the south; (3) population urbanization and economic urbanization are the main factors that lead to the decrease of ecosystem service value; land urbanization directly affects the values of ecosystem services through land use change; the social urbanization affects the structure of ecosystem service function. Generally speaking, urbanization will lead to the decrease of ecosystem services value. There is a significant negative correlation between the level of urbanization and the value function of ecosystem services. The Pearson coefficient is -0.876, and is tested by 0.05 belief level.
