The provided chart compares the production of three different forest products in a European nation, namely timber, pulp, and paper, between 1980 and 2000.
Overall, it is clear that paper experienced the most dramatic growth, rising from the lowest figure to the highest over the 20 years. Turning to the other materials, pulp recorded intermediate figures, while timber production exceeded all other products only in 1985.
Focusing on the highest data point, paper production achieved approximately 12 million tonnes, whereas timber figures increased sharply in 1985, reaching approximately 11 million tonnes. Looking at the details, paper production registered the lowest figures (4 million tonnes) over the period from 1980 to 2000.
Turning to the changes in production over the 20-year period, pulp and paper production increased gradually from 5 and 4 million tonnes in 1980 to 10 and 12 million tonnes in 2000. In stark contrast, timber production showed instability over the 20 years, initially increasing significantly to 11 million tonnes before decreasing gradually to 7 million tonnes.
