    This document contains questions for a population trends practical assessment. It asks questions about exponential vs logistic population growth models, how populations gain and lose individuals, characteristics of populations with high intrinsic growth rates, environmental factors that increase and decrease growth, what happens when population size exceeds carrying capacity, and challenges of random changes in carrying capacity for managing exploited wild populations. It also asks what should be done if a deer population is predicted to overshoot carrying capacity by 20% the next season.
