Plankton Patchiness is a spatiotemp situational distribution pattern in which planktonic organisms exhibit heterogeneous concentrations across marine or aquatic environments, distinguished from uniform or random dispersion models by the presence of localized aggregations or gradients influenced by biotic, abiotic, and hydrodynamic factors.
