Green algae have many similarities to land plants. It has many variety body types and the multicellular forms do not have cells separated into tissues‚ which is what divides green algae from land plants. Green algae are a very diverse group of freshwater algae. Many green algae form long filaments. The cells stay attached after they divide. Spirogyra can become so numerous they form dense mats of growth in surfaces of ponds‚ which is called pond scum. This pond scum is interesting to see through

In this article‚ Buffam discusses the potential risks that green roof runoff can have on downstream ecosystems. Though beneficial in some areas‚ storm water runoff from these roofs have been found to seep harmful chemicals that can contaminate water quality. Sources of phosphorous‚ carbon‚ copper and iron have all been identified as a part of the hazardous runoff. It has been anticipated that these green roof ecosystems have fluctuating runoff concentrations depending on plant production‚ microscopic
