The line graph illustrates changes in the amount of timber, pulp, and paper industries in million tons (mt), in one particular nation in Europe between 1980 and 2000. Overall, all the trends increased, with the exception of the timber industry. Notably, the production of paper became dominant at the end of the period, despite starting at its lowest point.
The figure for timber started at 5 mt in 1980; this number sharply rose to 10 million tons in the next half decade in 1985 and reached a plateau. Produced tons of timber after falling to 6,5 mt in 1995, showed a steady increase to 8 mt, and closed at 7,8 mt in 2000.
The tons of paper produced were 4 mt in 1980; it experienced an increase over the given period. Having reached 9 mt, the production number of paper fell to 8 mt, and the recovery rose to 12 mt in 2000, this being the highest point on the chart. The pulp industry manufactured nearly 6 mt of products in the initial year. This number declined to 2.5 mt, after which it saw a rocketing increase and reached 7 mt. The total number of pulp products barely moved afterwards and finished at approximately 10 mt in 2000.
