  "term": "Species sensitivity distribution",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A statistical distribution that describes the variation in sensitivity of different species to a particular toxic substance. This distribution is used to estimate the hazardous concentration for a given ecosystem. It typically plots the cumulative probability of species being affected against the concentration of the toxicant.",
