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 the paper experienced the most dramatic growth, rising from the lowest figure to the highest over the 20 years. Turning to the other materials, the pulp recorded the intermediate figures, while the timber production exceeded all products only in 1985.
Focusing on the highest data point, the paper production achieved approximately 12 million tonnes, whereas the timber figures increased sharply in 1985, reached approximately 11 million tones. Looking at the details , the paper production registered the lowest figures ( 4 million tones) over the period of time from 1980 to 2000.
Turning to the changes in production over the previous 20 years, the 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, the timber production showed instability over the 20 years, initially increasing significantly to 11 million tonnes before decreasing gradually to 7 million tonnes.
