Q3.8. Suppose you are tracking the population size of a herd of bison inside a large protected park in the northern Rocky Mountains. After many years of research, you and your colleagues have estimated the carrying capacity of the park to be 800 bison. Because some bison were recently relocated into the park from elsewhere, the current population size is 900. What do you estimate the size of the herd to be in 20 years, assuming environmental and ecological conditions do not change?

Communities and Ecosystems

Ecology contains two words: Eikos means dwelling, and logy means to study, so the combined meaning is studying habitat or living.
