Abstract Meta-analysis is a quantitatively statistical research approach to synthesize the findings of individual studies within the same subject. It was presented by Glass in 1976 with many more advantages over the traditional methods. The method was introduced into the ecology field at the beginning of 1990s, and has got great progress since then. The authors of the paper introduced the concept of the Meta-analysis and how to conduct this method, reviewed the developmental progress, summarized its application in ecology, also discussed its limitations through comparison among several statistical methods. Meta-analysis is generally a very powerful method for statistical analysis and it can provide insights into the research domains, in which empirical data provide not clear consensus even conflict. The importance of Meta-analysis will probably increase in eco-environmental sciences in the future.
