  "term": "Leslie matrix",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A discrete, age-structured model used in population ecology to project the growth of a population over time. It represents the population as a vector of age classes and uses a matrix containing age-specific survival and fecundity rates to calculate the population's future state. This matrix is a fundamental tool for analyzing population dynamics and predicting changes in population size and age distribution.",
