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 1illustratesinllustrates the production of timber, pulp and paper industry products in a European country between 1980 and 2000.

Overall, paper continued to increase 2throughout the period, while pulp production rose overall despite a temporary dip in 1990during the period, while pulp kept rising almost all the period, except a decrease in 1985. On the other hand, 3timber showed a fluctuating trend over the two decades.timber fluctuated during the period.

5In 1980, paper production was lower than that of timber and pulp, standing at only 3 million tonnes (or units)In 1908, paper was less than timber and pulp, where pulp only made up 3%, 61 unit lower than pulp1% point less than pulp 7and half that of timberand half of timber. 8However, due to the increase of paper, paper overtook pulp in 1985, 9reaching 5 million tonnesrepresenting 5%, and then surpassed timber in 1991, 10reaching approximately 7.5 million tonnes.accounting for around 7.5%. Afterwards, paper 11climbedclimbing 12to a high of 10 million tonnes in 2000.to a peak of 10% in 2000.

Furthermore, 14timber production remained consistently higher than pulp production throughout the periodtimber was higher than pulp during the period. After the increase 15to a peak of 9 units in 1985to a peak of 7% in 1985, timber experienced 16a prolonged declinea long time decrease, from the top 17to around 6.5 units in 1995to nearly 7% in 1995. Then it rose to around 7.5% at last. 18Pulp production stood at 4 million tonnes in 1980Pulp began to rise at 4% in 1908, reached a peak of 5% in 1985, then decreased to approximately 4.5% in 1990. 19After that, it continued to rise to 6% in 2000.
