  "term": "Extinction probability",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The likelihood that a population of organisms will eventually die out completely. This probability is influenced by factors such as population size, birth and death rates, environmental variability, and demographic stochasticity. It is a key concept in conservation biology for assessing the risk of species loss.",
