Fig 1. Carbon dioxide fluxes for the month of April over the span of 5 years. While nighttime fluxes are similar, there is a difference in the daytime carbon fluxes before and after Wilma. The total carbon dioxide sequestrated by the ecosystem in 2009 was greater than the amount in 2007 and 2008; however the flux over the entire year has not reached pre-disturbance values.
