In an ecosystem 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 these tree species would be well adapted to the new environmental conditions, allowing them to thrive in areas that are frequently flooded, unlike the other options, which may be negatively impacted by increased water levels.
