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 tree species that can tolerate excess water are better adapted to thrive in a flooded environment, allowing them to compete successfully for resources and potentially expand their populations. The other options are less likely to thrive in such conditions.
