All Green Algae Overview

Green Algae Overview is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers general entries on the green algae as a whole, the lineage of chlorophyll-containing algae that ranges from single cells to large seaweeds and is the group from which the land plants arose. An entry belongs here when its own cited article describes the green algae broadly rather than one seaweed genus. It excludes the specific groups of green seaweeds and stoneworts, the kelps, the wracks, the red algae and the other brown algae, which each have a group of their own. The group lets a reader begin with the whole green lineage before following it into its seaweed groups.
