One of the most important abiotic factors is the petrified wood. Petrified wood are fossils that were formed 225 million years ago. This kind of wood is essential in the Petrified Forest because that is what the forest is known for. The wood is very strong, at least 4 times harder than granite. Colors of the petrified wood are red with yellow, black and white, or blue. The wood started to be preserved during occasional flooding. The trees were buried by water and sediment, quickly enough to prevent aerobic decay. Aerobic= Living, or active, and decay= to fall into ruin.

Another important abiotic factor is the weather. The weather is important because it changes many things about the forest and the canyon. When it is snowing or raining, the painted deserts colors become much more vibrant. On a cold clear winter day, the landscape is opened for 100 miles in all directions. As a result, this could affect the visitors there and the trails. Unusual weather patterns can also affect the seasons, and fortunately provide good weather for the visitors.
