ASSESSMENT OF INFLUENCE OF AGE OF TREES AND DUST FALL ON DEFOLIATION OF THE SCOTCH PINE IN THE REGION OF OPOLE AND SOME NEIGHBORING TERRITORIES USING BAYESIAN APPROACH

Elżbieta Goł±bek, Andrzej Tukiendorf

 

ABSTRACT



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.

Key words: Scotch pine, defoliation, age, dust fall, BUGS.
