ABSTRACT
This paper presents an ecological analysis of the growth in thickness of monumental English oaks in
relation to the age of trees, their health status, and dust fall in the immediate environment. The Bayesian
modeling of empirical data was proposed via the MCMC technique ± known as Gibbs sampling in the BUGS
software. The usefulness of the methodology, was accentuated in such ecological assessments.
