Abstract
The study showed the differences in the structure and the spatial variability of coralligenous assemblages among sites under different human pressure. In high urbanized condition, the abundance of sensitive taxa and the spatial heterogeneity of assemblages are comparatively lower. ESCA and COARSE indices showed differences in the ecological quality of the system along the gradient.
