This case series (see also the A [UVA-OM-1107], B [UVA-OM-1110], D [UVA- OM-1112], E [UVA-OM-1113], F [UVA-OM-1156], and G [UVA-OM-1158] cases) focuses students on the boom-and-bust behaviors in the Northern Forest sawmill industry. Stakeholders, from landowners to sawmill owners to government officials to environmentalists, all want to make sure that the overall demand for saw logs, as driven by sawmill capacity, does not exceed the rate at which the trees are growing. They do not want sawmill demand to overshoot the productive capacity of the forest resource, a classic problem in renewable-resource economies that the region had experienced approximately a century earlier. Students are called upon to use system-thinking skills (analysis of reference modes of behaviors, causal-loop mapping, and stock-flow mapping) in creating their causal hypotheses of the underlying system structure. Students are asked to design system-structure policies to help sustain both the industry and the natural resources of the region. The C case describes the roles and views of environmental activists and nonprofit organizations of the Northern Forest. You, the student, advocate for the health of the forest ecosystems, which include the plants, animals, soil, air, and water. You also care about the connections between people and the forest (e.g., recreational opportunities, vital local forest-connected communities).
本案例系列(参见A [UVA- om- 1107]， B [UVA- om- 1110]， D [UVA- OM-1112]， E [UVA- om- 1113]， F [UVA- om- 1156]和G [UVA- om- 1158]案例)将学生集中在北部森林锯木厂行业的兴衰行为上。从土地所有者到锯木厂所有者，从政府官员到环保主义者，所有的利益相关者都希望确保锯木厂产能所驱动的锯木总需求不会超过树木生长的速度。他们不希望锯木厂的需求超过森林资源的生产能力，这是该地区大约一个世纪前经历过的可再生资源经济中的一个典型问题。要求学生运用系统思维技能(分析行为的参考模式、因果循环映射和库存流映射)来创建他们对潜在系统结构的因果假设。学生被要求设计系统结构政策，以帮助维持该地区的工业和自然资源。C案例描述了北方森林环境活动人士和非营利组织的角色和观点。你，学生，提倡森林生态系统的健康，包括植物、动物、土壤、空气和水。你还关心人与森林之间的联系(例如，娱乐机会，重要的当地森林连接社区)。
