Observations of the solar chromosphere-corona transition region plasma show evidence of small, short-lived dynamic phenomena called e.g., explosive events, blinkers, micro- and nano-flares. These events may serve as the basic building blocks of the heating mechanism(s) of the solar atmosphere. In this paper we study the heating of the solar corona by numerous micro-scale randomly highly localized events representing the energy dissipation found by observations. We found, that typical loop temperature structures seen by e.g. TRACE are recovered when the energy release occurs close to the footpoints of the loop. Implications of these results upon the latest coronal loop observations are addressed.
