In population dynamics, you often see periods of decline and gain. How do we know that this is a genuine long-term decline as opposed to a temporary downswing?

In population dynamics, you often see periods of decline and gain. How do we know that this is a genuine long-term decline as opposed to a temporary downswing? I’ve always wondered.
After all, not every population can grow forever. So which pieces of news should we be alarmed about, vs which are expected?
- patall 5y agoFrom the article: > The study found that population decline was not limited to a few species but a wide range of species across every biome In contrast, population dynamics is usually concerning either a single or a number of linked species. But on the greater scale, the planet as a whole will probably rebound after humans have destroyed everything including what has made their life possible and will hence have gone extinct.
