Global distribution is the study of how various elements, such as species, diseases, resources, or cultural practices, are distributed across the world. This research area involves analyzing patterns of distribution, identifying factors that influence these patterns, and predicting future changes in distribution. Global distribution research often involves the use of geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing technologies, and statistical analysis to understand the spatial patterns and relationships of different elements on a global scale. This research is important for a variety of fields, including ecology, epidemiology, economics, and cultural studies.
