The line graph illustrates the quantities of wood, pulp and paper were produced in the forest industry of a European country between 1980 and 2000.
Overall, there was an increase in the amount of three products manufactured, with a much more significant rise being seen in the production of paper. In addition, the amount of paper material had the highest figures from 1990 onwards.
The amount of timber production started at exactly 6 million tonnes; after which, it slightly increase and peaked at approximately 8.5 million tonnes 5 years later. Similar changes were also seen in the figures for pulp and paper, which rose from 4 and around 2.6 million tonnes to approximately 4.5 million tonnes in the first 5 years.
From 1985 onwards, the amount of paper manufactured increased dramatically, peaking at 10 million tonnes in the final year surveyed. Conversely, pulp production experienced a sharp decline, dropping to just under 8 million tonnes, with a significant low of approximately 6.2 million tonnes in 1995. Additionally, the figures for pulp saw a slight drop to roughly 4.2 million tonnes in 1990 before climbing to exactly 6 million tonnes in 2000.
