  "term": "Net primary production",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The amount of organic matter produced by photosynthetic organisms in an ecosystem, minus the amount consumed by their own respiration.

This metric is a key indicator of ecosystem health and carbon cycling, often measured in units of mass per unit area per unit time.",
