Did you know?

Did you know that in an ecosystem where flooding becomes more frequent, the species most likely to increase in numbers are the ones that are best adapted to the changing environment? For example, a flightless bird species that nests on the ground would have an advantage over birds that nest in trees since their nests would be less susceptible to damage from flooding. Similarly, a tree species that can tolerate excess water would thrive in this environment compared to other tree species. Additionally, mammals that burrow underground would have a greater chance of survival as they could escape the floodwaters. Finally, the insect species that live on the leaves of short bushes may also benefit as these bushes could become more abundant due to the increased water availability. So, your guess that the tree species that tolerates excess water (b) would increase in numbers is correct!
