Reef Patchiness is a spatial ecological construct that characterizes the degree of heterogeneity in the distribution and arrangement of biotic and abiotic components across a coral reef landscape, distinguishing it from uniform or random spatial patterns by emphasizing discrete, often scale-dependent, discontinuities in habitat structure.
