  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010488",
  "term": "Salt tolerance index",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A quantitative measure of an organism's ability to withstand and grow in environments with elevated salt concentrations. It is often calculated as the ratio of a physiological parameter (e.g., growth rate, biomass) under saline conditions compared to control conditions. This index is particularly relevant in agriculture for selecting salt-tolerant crop varieties in arid and semi-arid regions.",
