The line graph illustrates the production quantities of wood, pulp and paper were produced in the forest industry of a European country between 1980 and 2000.
Overall, the production of all three sectors witnessed an increase throughout the entire period. In particular, the figures for paper creation surpassed those of timber and maintained its dominant position in the latter half of the timeline.
In 1980, the amount of timber production started at exactly 6 million tonnes; after which, it sharply increased and peaked at approximately 8.5 million tonnes 5 years later before witnessing a dramatic decrease to roughly 6.2 million tonnes in 1995, followed by an insignificant recovery to just under 6 million tonnes at the last year surveyed.
Similar changes were also seen in the figures for pulp, which slightly increased from 4 to around 4.5 million tonnes in the first five years and slowly fell to around 4.2 million tonnes in 1990. Subsequently, it experienced a substantial increase that reach a peak at 6 million tonnes at the end of the surveyed period. By contrast, about 2.5 million tonnes of paper was produced in 1980, which kept dramatically increasing to reach a peak at 8 million tonnes in 2000.
