leväryhmät
Leväryhmät refers to the classification of algae into broad groups based on their pigmentation, cell structure, and evolutionary relationships. While "leväryhmät" is a Finnish term, the concept is universal in algology, the study of algae. These groups are not formal taxonomic ranks like phyla or classes, but rather convenient groupings used for ecological and biological understanding.
The major leväryhmät often include green algae (Chlorophyta), which possess chlorophyll a and b and store food
Other less commonly discussed leväryhmät might include euglenoids, golden-algae, and yellow-green algae, each with unique pigment
