She has been studying ectomycorrhizal plants and fungi for more than 40 years. She is especially interested in the makeup and physiology of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities following natural and anthropogenic disturbances\, and in carbon and nutrients transfer between fungal and plant symbionts. She and her students have studied the effects of various silviculture practices on ectomycorrhizal fungal communities over short and medium terms; how severe wildfire affects soil fungi\, especially mycorrhizal fungi; transfer of nutrients and metals between ectomycorrhizal fungi and their plant symbionts; the contribution of ectomycorrhizal fungi to organic matter breakdown in soil; and whether the potential to associate with the same fungal individual affects seedling survival or carbon transfer between trees. Melanie was the first elected President of the International Mycorrhiza Society\, and served as Associate Dean of Research for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences when UBC Okanagan was first formed. She retired last year\, but continues to be active in writing scientific papers with her students\, while also finding more time for cross-country skiing\, gardening and hiking.
