The line graph below shows the production of paper, wood pulp and sawn-wood in the UK from 1980 to 2000.

the line graph illustrates the

production

of forest materials, namely paper,

wood

pulp

and sawn

wood

in the UK between 1980 and 2000.

overall

,

while

the

production

of paper and packaging followed an upward trend throughout the surveyed period, the figures for sawn timber and

wood

pulp

recorded an opposite trajectory.

to begin

with, the manufacture of paper and packaging accounted for approximately 225

million

tonnes

at the beginning of the given time, which

then

increased to 250

million

tonnes

in the year 1990. in 2000,

this

figure hit its peak of 350

million

tonnes

.

in contrast

, the category of sawn-

wood

and timber

pulp

production

reached 200 and roughly 160

million

tonnes

, respectively in 1980.

however

, in the next 10 years, the

production

of sawn timber decreased by 50

million

tonnes

, to 150

million

tonnes

. afterwards, the figure ended at 175

million

tonnes

.

furthermore

, the manufacture of

wood

pulp

followed a downward trend, taking up 150

million

tonnes

in 1990 before rising to the same yield as that in 1980

at the end

of the period.
