In an environment that experiences more frequent flooding, the species that would most likely increase in numbers would be a tree species that is tolerant of excess water. This is because such trees are adapted to survive and thrive in wet conditions, giving them a competitive advantage in a flooding environment. The other species listed may struggle to survive or reproduce effectively under such conditions.
