Between 1980 and 2000, the line graph illustrates three types of products are made in a European countries, dubbed timber, pulp, and paper. These figures are measured in million tonnes.
Overall, the production of paper is stayed the highest among three categories, while pulp and timber started nearly same tonnes in 1980, the production of pulp, however, was higher compared to tonnes of timber by 2000.
In 1980, the paper the least manufactured product at 4 mt, but then showed consistent growth until 1995, when it surpass the other two products, standing at 9 mt. in the remaining period, the figure for paper production dropped to 8 mt before reaching to a chart high of 12mt, becoming an absolute leader in the forest industry.
Pulp and timber bore certain similarities since the figures for both showed fluctuating patterns through the period. The former was the most produced forest product, at the beginning of the period with the figure standing at approximately 6 mt, while the latter was produced in lower amounts. At nearly 5 mt . Then they went to different directions , with timber production reaching a peak of 10 mt in 1985 and the production of pulp plunging before staging to around 7 mt over the same period. From 1985 onwards, generally pulp production showed an upward trend, doubling a shy of 10 mt in 2000.
