Working group breakout session titled Defining Useful Data led by Steve Del Grosso and Gwenaelle Lashermes. Start-off statement by Steve: Modelers want data that will improve the model fit! Useful data for models is dependent on the purpose of the model. Ecosystem scale models will likely not need the same parameters that micro-site lignin decomposition models will need. Enzyme activity Vmax and Km (enzyme kinetics) data is likely to be much more important for small scale models. Furthermore, one challenge with this is that there are plenty of Vmax values, but Km values are not as common due to method / lab logistics complications.
