The line graph illustrates output volumes of three forest-based commodities — timber, pulp, and paper — in one European country over the 20-year period from 1980 to 2000, measured in millions of tonnes.
Overall, paper production saw the most dramatic and consistent growth to become the highest-yield product by the end of the period, while timber output experienced an initial peak before declining, and pulp recorded the slowest, modest upward trend.
In 1980, timber was the most produced of the three items, standing at 6 million tonnes, compared to 4 million tonnes of pulp and only 3 million tonnes of paper. Timber production rose to a peak of 9 million tonnes in 1985, before falling gradually to 6.5 million tonnes by 1995, then recovering slightly to 7.5 million tonnes in 2000. Pulp output saw a small rise to 5 million tonnes by 1985, then dipped to 4.5 million tonnes in 1990, before climbing steadily to 6 million tonnes by the end of the timeframe.
The most striking trend was for paper production, which grew continuously from the lowest initial volume to reach 10 million tonnes in 2000 — exceeding both other products after the early 1990s and becoming the dominant forest industry product of the three by 2000.
