tropical rainforests and ancient oak woodlands have population sizes that stay relatively constant. this means that they are... what?

They are in equilibrium (their populations are stable over time).

In ecology, when population sizes stay relatively constant, it means birth and death rates are balanced, so the overall size of the population does not change much and the ecosystem is described as being in equilibrium or stable.
