Inspired by Pagiola and others' thinking about eco-compensation, based on a geographical view of scale relevance and scale transition we described the logical framework of provincial eco-compensation in China. Combined with different accounting for ecological value, this study presented the model of provincial eco-compensation standard in China based on ecological value equivalents. We used statistical data for 2011 as a case study and calculated the provincial ecological economic value and eco-compensation standard, and compared each province 's GDP. We found that the provincial ecological economic value, provincial eco-compensation standard, and the ratio that accounted for provincial GDP, all correspond to reality. To the provincial eco-compensation standard, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Tianjing, Jiangsu and other economically-developed provinces' eco-compensation standards are negative, which means their economic development has occupied other areas' eco-resources and they should pay eco-compensation. Tibet, Qinghai, Sinkiang, Ningxia, Gansu, Yunnan, Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang and other less-developed provinces' eco-compensation standards are positive and they should receive eco-compensation. The percentage of eco-compensation standard to GDP of Tibet is 86.16%, which is the maximum of all provinces in China; the minimum was in Guangdong at 0.04%. The people in Tibet should receive 17214.6 CNY per person every year(the maximum) and the people in Shandong should receive 38.6 CNY per person every year(minimum). Meanwhile, people in Beijing should pay 462.3 CNY per person every year(maximum), Tianjing residents should pay 65.4 CNY per person every year, Jiangsu 36.3 CNY per person every year and Guangdong 20.6 CNY per person every year.
