The mapping experiment data was used to create a map of Five Falls Creek, and the map can be located on the website referenced in the Results section of this website. Using the data it was possible to map the creek accurately. For the soil anaylsis experiment, the results were as follows for the old soil: pH was 8+, phorphorus was medium, potassium was very high, and nitrogen showed only traces. The newly collected creek sediment soil yeild the following data: pH was about 8, phosphorus levels were low to medium, nitrogen content was detectable only as a trace, and potassium was in the medium to high level. The new shale cliff soil showed a pH of about 8, traces of phosphorus, no nitrogen content, and very high levels of potassium. This data offered a variation from the old soil, which may indicate environmental changes in the Five Falls Creek area.
The flora and fauna experiment results were interesting because the experiment was done in the pond area during an overcast, relatively cool day. The experimental results can be found on the website indicated eariler. The most abundant organisms in that environment were waterstriders, beetles, and ants. When the experiment was done at Five Falls Creek the most abundant organisms were spiders, pillbugs, dragonflies, tiger beetles, and tent caterpillars. The organisms occured in higher numbers at the creek and this may because the environment is more able to handle diversity or because the weather was warmer and more sunny.
The random pair tree analysis experiment showed that Sycamores (4), Maples (3), and Elms (5) occured in the surveyed area in the largest numbers, but other species of trees including Red Buds, Black Locusts, Oak, Box Elder, and Buckeye also inhabited the area. The Sycamore tree had the largest circumference of the trees measured. Trees that were atypical were the Red Bud and the high numbers of Sycamores.
The herb and shrub survey done near Dead Deer Bend on Five Falls Creek was atypical in relationship to other areas of Clermont campus because there were different types of plant life such as fire pink and spice bush. There was also a higher amount of wild ginger in the plots. Most other plants in the plot were represented in normal proportions compared to the rest of campus which has been studied in the past.
