The line graph illustrates the manufactiring of European countrie’s three various forest industry goods (timber, pulp and paper) between 1980 and 2000. The quantities are measured in million tonnes.
Overall, the figure for the pulp and paper underwent an upward throughout the period, with the paper started with a less million tonnes, however, by the end forefronted that of other, the reverse was true for timber.
Looking more in detail at the graph, we can see that in 1980, the production of paper and pulp were relatively similar, at 4 million tonnes and approximately 5, respectively. Over the following five years, the trend for paper rose by 2 million (6), by contrast, pulp revealed a downward in about 1983 at nearly 2,5 million tones, but by 1985 it doubled to almost 7 million. Furthermore, in 1980, both paper and pulp carried on growth almost in the same way. The former was nearly 7 million, and the latter was 8 million. By 1985, production of paper was much higher at about 9 million, compared to pulp with 8.5 million. At the end of period, paper accounted 12 million tones with leading position, following by pulp which was in second rate made up a bit shy of 10 million.
By contrast, Timber begun at about 5 million tones in 1980, after which doubled to 10 million tones in 1985. Insetead of growth, from 1990 to 1995 underwent significant change to approximately 7 million. Finally, at the beginning of the period showed a flactuation and stopped at just under 8 million.
