naturalized bench / bank


Explanation:
Baseado no texto abaixo, penso que se trata de um terreno em declive:
"Imediatamente a norte está implantado um campo de futebol, que a breve prazo será convertido em diversos campos desportivos (ténis, polidesportivo e espaço radical), envolvido por um talude relvado, aproveitando o acentuado declive natural do terreno, com a função de bancada naturalizada." - https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC3XJKF_monte-de-sto-ant...

bench: A flat ledge in masonry or on sloping ground.
https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/bench

bank: a steep slope (as of a hill) *
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bank

* Penso que este termo casa bem com a definição de "bancada trabalhada na forma natural da encosta/declive" (v. Painel de Discussões).

Note que o texto original menciona um "cais para embarcações turísticas" e "uma fluvina", o que pressupõe a existência de rios (ou lagos) na área em questão. Além de "encosta íngreme (de uma colina ou serra)", "bank" também quer dizer "margem (de um rio, por exemplo)". Penso que seria a melhor tradução para "bancada". Veja exemplo abaixo:

"Artist renderings of a reimagined reservoir put out by Silver Lake Forward show a boardwalk zig-zagging along the water's edge, and amphitheater-style seating set along a stretch of naturalized bank." - https://www.latimes.com/opinion/livable-city/la-oe-blackmore...
