  "term": "Green Algae",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "Unicellular or colonial algae with chlorophyll pigments similar to those in terrestrial green plants. Some forms of green algae produce mats or floating “moss” in lakes. The abundance of green algae in phytoplankton samples is expressed as the number of cells per milliliter (cells/mL) or biovolume in cubic micrometers per milliliter (μm3/mL). The abundance of green algae in periphyton samples is given in cells per square centimeter (cells/cm2) or biovolume per square centimeter (μm3/cm2).",
