The line graph provides information about the production of three industrial forest products in a European country between 1980 and 2000. Overall, despite starting from a similar point in 1980, paper had the highest production among the three categories, followed by pulp, while timber had the lowest figures.
Paper production began at roughly 6 million tonnes, and over the next 15 years, it rose gradually, reaching a peak of around 9 million tonnes in 1995. However, this peak was not sustained — the production of paper dropped slightly to about 8 million tonnes before recovering to approximately 12 million by the final year.
In contrast, both pulp and timber started at the same level, around 5.5 million tonnes, in 1980. Timber experienced a notable increase, reaching its highest point in 1985, but this was not maintained. Production declined gradually to approximately 6.5 million tonnes by 1995, then recovered to around 8 million by the end of the period. Meanwhile, pulp bucked the trend by decreasing significantly to nearly 2 million tonnes, after which it showed a noticeable increase, rising to around 7 million in 1985. It continued to grow steadily, reaching approximately 8 million, and was maintained at a high level of about 9 million tonnes by the final year.
