The so - called Campos de Altitude (Altitude Fields) is an ecosystem of the Atlantic Rainforest biome that occurs in the higher elevations (> 1.500 m) of the tropical and seasonal rainforest ecosystems.

The predominant elements are herbaceous and brushy species such as poaceae, syperaceae, asteraceae and mimosaceae. The lower brushy species frequently occur in the middle of a dense gramminoid carpet. The disjoined character and the geographical isolation of this ecosystem are relevant factors for the occurrence of biodiversity and endemism.
