Abstract
This study was conducted to find out withering and dying trends of turfgrasses on the base of tree, and to investigated how much area of turfgrasses withering and dying were progressed on angle of inclination at golf course. Turfgrasses withering and dying on base of trees on slope was extended more to the down-solpe direction than to the up-solpe direction. This trend was common in all experiment plot. Turfgrasses on the base of trees were withered and dead by competing with tree root fur nutrients and moisture in soil. But the trend of the withering and dying in some experiment plots occurred by soil erosion following turfgrass withering and dying occurring on upside ridge. This trend was generally appeared in region of tree community at upside ridge. The form of turfgrass withering and dying on the base of tree in some experiment plots was similar to that of the tree crown. This withering and dying from occurred at the $11^{th}$ experiment plot in Ji San Golf Course and the $6^{th}$ experiment plot in East valley Golf Course.
