The graph below shows the production of three forest industry products in a European country, namely timber, pulp, and paper, from 1980 to 2000.

The line graph shows the

production

of

timber

as well as

paper

and

pulp

in one European country from 1980 to 2000.

Although

there were fluctuations,

overall

, the

production

of

pulp

was consistently more than

timber

and

paper

. The general trend was to move away from

pulp

and

paper

as

timber

became the dominant product in the

production

of the forest industry. In the first decade, the

pulp

was produced in significantly higher quantities than other industries listed. Despite an initial sharp fall to approximately 2

million

tonnes

, it

then

recovered, reaching a high of close to 7

million

tonnes

.

However

, from 1990, its

production

increased almost consistently to 8

million

tonnes

, and the

production

exceeded 10

million

in 2000. The trend for

timber

doubled from 5

million

tonnes

in 1980, reaching approximately 10

million

tonnes

in 1985,

although

this

peak was not maintained, falling to nearly 8

million

tonnes

in 2000.

In contrast

,

paper

climbed from 4

million

tonnes

to 6

million

tonnes

before reaching its peak at 12

million

in 2000.
