As an initial step in more extensive research into the links between biological and cultural diversity in present-day Italy, we reviewed Biocultural Diversity studies that explore the relationship between biological and cultural patterns of diversity to determine whether any direct causal relationships or common drivers could be inferred. We found no significant attempts to quantitatively measure biocultural diversity in the country as a whole. Italy shows a high number of mutual interactions, but common drivers and patterns between biological and cultural diversity were not evident. This could be either a problem of quantification due perhaps to an inherent incommensurability between the two dimensions, or different causative patterns that drive biological and cultural diversity.

作为对当今意大利生物多样性和文化多样性之间联系进行更广泛研究的第一步，我们回顾了生物文化多样性研究，这些研究探讨了生物多样性和文化多样性模式之间的关系，以确定是否存在任何直接因果关系或共同驱动因素。推断。我们发现没有任何重大尝试来定量衡量整个国家的生物文化多样性。意大利表现出大量的相互互动，但生物多样性和文化多样性之间的共同驱动因素和模式并不明显。这可能是由于两个维度之间固有的不可通约性造成的量化问题，或者是驱动生物和文化多样性的不同因果模式。
