Ask yourself:

a) whether anyone could possibly see what you are seeing with the data you have offered, and ...

(Just a guess that this is the problem)

b) what POSIXct dates are represented by 1:9? Would they even be in the range 2001-2009?

> ddd
[1] "2000-01-01 EST" "2000-01-02 EST"
> ddd+1
[1] "2000-01-01 00:00:01 EST" "2000-01-02 00:00:01 EST"

My x axis is a series of daily dates (e.g., 01/01/2000, 01/02/2000,

want more.  Why doesn't this work?

sdate<-as.POSIXct(strptime(date,format="%m/%d/%Y"))

plot (ppt~sdate,type="l",ylim=c(0,47),col=1,lwd=1,pch=16,ylab="Salinity,
psu",xlab="Year",las=1,main="Duck Key Salinity",xaxt="n")

year.text=c("2001","2002","2003","2004", "2005", "2006", "2007","2008",
"2009")

axis(1, at=c(1:9),labels=year.text)
