Nine of my earlier essays are bound into one in this volume. The essays introduce a family of novel conceptual tools for use in proxy scaling of the vegetation stand's potential energy level. The stand is considered in modelling as a resonator complex. The model's characteristic functions, written for energy-based entropy, are probability based and specific to historic phylogeny, current environmental mediation, and the ubiquitous chance effects. The approach is holistic and multi-scale. Survey type ecological data can be used to determine the parameters of the characteristic functions. As a paradigm defining novelty in ecological energetic studies, the focus of interest is moved from the problem area of calorific flow to the space-time structural dynamic of the stand's potential energy.
