The line graph compares the quantity of three forest industry products (timber, pulp, and paper) producing in a European country. The data is given for the period between 1980 and 2000, and the units are measured in million tonnes.
Overall, all the figures experienced an increase throughout the period. However, the trend for paper, which took the lead at the end of the period, sharply rose, while the other two figures witnessed a moderate growth.
In detail, at the starting point, paper was manufactured at 4 million tonnes by Europeans. Nevertheless, this number dramatically grew, reaching about 9 million tonnes in 1995. Despite a slight decrease after a few years, the production rate of paper became by far the highest at 12 million tonnes in 2000.
As for pulp, which was the dominant category at the beginning of the time frame, its manufacturing quantity was 6 million tonnes in 1980. Subsequently, although this rate markedly dropped to approximately 2.5 million tonnes in 1985, it saw a significant increase to just below 10 million tonnes.
Regarding timber, which showed a lot of changes, this material was produced at approximately 5 million tonnes in 1980. Substantially, in 1985, this number was more 2 times higher than that of the previous time. After some fluctuations, this rate reached roughly 7.5 million tonnes in 2000.
