enrichment plantation
Explanation:
Anreicherungspflanzungen means enrichment plantations, rather than enrichment plants, which gives it another meaning.

As I understand it, the plantation has nothing to do with increasing the biological diversity in the area or accumulating any toxins.

The goal is simply to connect the biological reserves by planting local trees in the corridor between them. That would make sense to me; preserving the forest with its indigenous species.

"Enrichment planting is such a method of silvicultural management that rehabilitate poorly stocked logged-over forest without eliminating the existing individuals. It is essentially a process of supplementing the natural regeneration with seedlings of commercial species [3]. Usually indigenous species are planted in enrichment planting." (see ref 1)
"These involve the suspension of the on-going afforestation/reforestation
programme; and allowing the natural forest to regenerate naturally, or the adoption of
natural forest- enrichment plantation technique using endemic/native tree species that are
aboriginal to the environment." (see ref 2)

accumulating plant


Explanation:
Bin nicht sicher, ob das hier im Kontext gemeint ist - falls es sich um die Anreicherung von z.B. Schwermetallen in den Pflanzen handelt, würde ich es so übersetzen. Aber möglicherweise ist es auch anders gemeint und die Pflanzen selber sind eine Bereicherung für das Gebiet...

"accumulating/accumulation" kann man generell verwenden, wenn es um die Anreicherung irgendeines Stoffes in den Pflanzen geht, sowohl,wenn es ein Stoff aus dem Boden ist oder auch, wenn es ein pflanzeneigener Stoff sein sollte.

Dann ist es wohl tatsächlich eher im Sinne von "Bereicherung" gemeint, und dann könnte man vielleicht mit "environment-enriching plants" oder "plants as environmental enrichment" übersetzen.

agree  Alan Johnson: Ja, der OT ist hier nicht sehr eindeutig. Geht evtl. auch "enrichment"?
3 mins
  -> Vielen Dank, Alan! Ja, "enrichment" geht wohl auch. Ich persönlich kenne eher "accumulation" in diesem Zusammenhang. // Nach der Kontextangabe könnte tatsächlich "enrichment" besser passen, allerdings dann vieleicht "environmental enrichment"?

improvement planting


Explanation:

It includes also the reforestation of banks of dam reservoirs on 4,800 ha (2,800 ha by direct planting and 2,000 ha by improvement planting),...

Or maybe a description like "supplementary trees" could work, if it is just a matter of explaining that additional trees will be planted and not a question of a specific term.

agree  Cetacea: with "enrichment planting", as the source text refers to the method rather than the result. But you are right, the term the asker should have posted is "Anreicherungspflanzung".

Explanation:
it's definitely NOT a plantation, more of a 'tree nursery', but that wasn't the question
