The graph below shows the change in production (Million Tonnes) of three products in the forest industry in a European country. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The line graph reveals information regarding the general trend towards increased

production

of timber,

pulp

, and

paper

within the forest sector in a European country from 1980 to 2000.

Overall

, at the beginning of the period, wood is produced in the largest quantities and

paper

in the smallest. After two decades, the

production

of

paper

reached the top of the three products,

while

that of

pulp

was at the bottom. Between 1980 and 1985, there was an upward tendency for both wood and

pulp

. In the beginning, the total

production

of wood and

pulp

was 6

million

metric

tonnes

and 4

million

metric

tonnes

, respectively.

Then

, over the course of the following five years, a slight decline in

pulp

production

was noted, followed by a moderate increase to just under 6

million

tonnes

.

In contrast

, from 1985 to 1995, there was a consistent decline in the

production

of timber, which went from about 9

million

metric

tonnes

to just over 6

million

metric

tonnes

. All of the products increased within 2

million

metric

tonnes

after that. Starting at roughly 3

million

metric

tonnes

,

paper

production

increased steadily to about 9

million

metric

tonnes

in 1995,

then

increased gradually to 10

million

metric

tonnes

in 2000.
