A Web Application for Riparian Models (WARM)

<jats:p>Riparian ecological models are widely used to support restoration planning, impact assessment, and mitigation, but many existing tools remain difficult to locate, interpret, and execute. This technical note documents the development of the Web Application for Riparian Models (WARM), a browser-based platform that compiles and executes nine previously developed riparian models in a standardized interface. WARM provides two primary capabilities: a model comparison tool that helps users identify appropriate models based on project characteristics and a suite of calculators that automate model execution with built-in error checking. All source code is maintained in publicly accessible repositories to support version control, transparency, and future expansion. This technical note describes the model selection process, software architecture, and evaluation procedures used to verify numerical accuracy and assess usability. By reducing technical barriers and centralizing access to riparian modeling tools, WARM improves the practicality and long-term shareability of ecological models for US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) projects and other restoration applications.</jats:p>
