In an ecosystem 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 tree species would be better adapted to the new environmental conditions and could thrive where other species might struggle or decline due to the increased water levels. The other species listed would likely face challenges in a flooded environment, making them less likely to increase in numbers.
Imagine the environment of an ecosystem changes such that it floods more often. Which species would most likely increase in numbers in this new environment?(1 point)
