Why these floors —

E7 · E6 · E10 · E11

E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E7, ecosystems; the pressure it names: river levels drop. Its words also reach E6 organisms, E10 institutions and E11 organizations.

Here it is a dynamic between ecosystems, organisms and institutions: Low river levels, oil exploration risks and Amazon rainforest (E7 ecosystems), with new fish species and Laimosemion laranja (E6 organisms), and $61.5 billion (E10 institutions).
