In an environment that experiences more frequent flooding, the species most likely to increase in numbers would be:
**a tree species that is tolerant of excess water.**
This is because such a tree species would be better adapted to survive and thrive in the flooded conditions compared to the other species listed, which may struggle to cope with the increased water levels.
