Three general model aims can be distinguished: description, explanation, and prediction.

The available models of aboveground–belowground interactions always include interactions between root and shoot, and sometimes also trophic, competitive, facilitative, or mutualistic interactions. However, only very few of the existing aboveground–belowground models are community models that incorporate more than three species and more than one type of interaction. Furthermore, spatial relationships are rarely explicitly addressed. Thus, future approaches should (1) improve, simplify, and update current models, (2) extend current models to include more different interaction types and spatial relationships where this is justified by the model question, and (3) employ new modeling techniques such as game theoretical methods or Bayesian network models. Guidelines for model building are given based on the modeling cycle from question through concept, structure, and implementation to analysis and documentation.
