Answer 1

A tree species that is tolerant of excess water.

Explanation: Increased flooding favors organisms adapted to wet conditions; flood-tolerant trees would survive and reproduce better than species vulnerable to waterlogging (ground-nesting birds, leaf-dwelling insects, and burrowing mammals).
