Question

what does population ecology help determine about an environment? the carrying capacity and stability of a population number of species and their interactions in an ecosystem intensity of weather activity in the immediate vicinity composition of soil and air quality within an ecosystem

Explanation:

Population ecology focuses on populations. It studies aspects like how many individuals a habitat can support (carrying capacity) and how stable a population is (e.g., if it fluctuates a lot or stays relatively constant). The other options are about different ecological concepts: species interactions and number are community - level (not population), weather intensity is more of a meteorological aspect, and soil composition and air quality are abiotic factors studied in other ecological sub - fields rather than population ecology.

Answer:

the carrying capacity and stability of a population
