Characteristics of Brown Algae Phaeophyta by Milton Robalino is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Brown algae belong to the phylum Phaeophyta, nearly all species of which are marine. They range in color from olive green to dark brown due to their photosynthetic pigments. The most complex and largest brown algae are kelps, with giant kelp able to reach lengths of 100 meters and grow over 1 foot per day, providing food and shelter for many ocean organisms.
