The given graph illustrates the manufacture of three distint forest industry items, measured in millions tonnes, in a European nation over a 20-year period (1980 to 2000).
Overall, it can be clearly observed that all products experienced an upward trajectory. In addition, despite having the lowest starting point, paper was the most produced item in the final year, 2000.
Regarding the first decade, 1980 to 1990, timber, ranking first in terms of production in 1980 at around 6 million tonnes, increased by around 4 million tonnes in 1985, before decreasing from about 10 to 8 million tonnes and then staying unchanged until the end of the period. Besides, pulp began at just under 6 in 1980, slightly lower than timber, underwent a remarkable decline to approximately 2, then went up noticeably to barely 8 million tonnes, sharing the same figure with timber in 1990. Meanwhile, paper recorded a gradual increase from 4 to about 7 million tonnes in the surveyed period.
Concerning the later half of the given timeframe, paper surpassed timber and pulp in 1995 at around 9, compared to about 8 and 6 million tonnes, respectively. Subsequently, there was a slight decrease in the production of paper to just under 8, meeting that of timber, preceding a significant climb to almost 12 million tonnes in 2000.
