The paper presents an ecological analysis of the defoliation of Scotch pines in relation to the age of trees, and the dust fall in the immediate environment. The Bayesian modeling of empirical data was proposed here via MCMC technique – known as Gibbs sampling in the BUGS software. The usefulness of the methodology was accentuated in such ecological assessments.
