Sample Practice Problems

Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 10.98 Invasive Species and Ecosystem Disruption skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

An invasive shrub is removed and native seedlings are planted, but deer heavily browse the seedlings. What is the best prediction?

ARemoval and planting guarantee full recovery regardless of herbivores

BDeer browsing will make native seedlings grow faster in every case

CThe shrub must be replanted because deer are native

DNative recovery may remain limited unless herbivory is also managed

Solution & Explanation:Restoration can fail when another limiting factor remains. Managing deer pressure may be necessary for seedlings to establish.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the item image showing invasive plant cover, nitrate concentration, and native richness over time. Which interpretation is most appropriate?

AThe graph proves nitrate alone caused every biodiversity change

BNative richness increases as invasive cover increases in the graph

CThe invasion is associated with nutrient change and biodiversity loss, but causation needs testing

DNo ecological relationship can be discussed from time-series data

Solution & Explanation:The time-series patterns support an association among invasion, nutrients, and richness, but controlled evidence is needed for causation.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A community is divided over removing a charismatic invasive mammal from a protected habitat. Which approach best supports both science and public trust?

AHide the management goal until after removal is complete

BUse transparent goals, ecological evidence, humane methods, and public communication

CBase the decision only on whether the animal is popular

DIgnore ecological data because the species is charismatic

Solution & Explanation:Controversial management is more defensible when evidence, ethics, goals, and communication are clearly addressed.
