This is a short overview of "typical" spatial heterogeneity in the context of conservation biology.  We cover spatial patchiness in the four most common varieties most conservationists encounter and use in their management:

1) topographic heterogeneity
2) heterogeneity resulting from environmental gradients
3) disturbance-induced heterogeneity
4) heterogeneity resulting from biological interactions
