  "term": "Species evenness",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A measure of the relative abundance of different species within a community. High evenness indicates that all species present have similar population sizes, while low evenness suggests that a few species dominate. This metric is a component of biodiversity, often used in conjunction with species richness to characterize ecological communities.",
