IKONOS sensor can improve seagrass mapping accuracy compared to TM data.
IKONOS data with Ripley’s K function can describe seagrass spatial patterns.
IKONOS provided insight into seagrass spatial patterns not discernable with TM data.
Dispersed or slightly dispersed spatial patterns of seagrass at a spatial scale of 4–32 m.
Random or slightly clustered spatial patterns of seagrass at a spatial scale 32 m.
