In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Clive A. Edwards mainly focuses on Agroforestry, Agronomy, Production, Earthworm and Business. The Agroforestry study combines topics in areas such as Applied ecology, Soil governance, Environmental impact of agriculture and Environmental protection. His research in Agronomy intersects with topics in Microorganism, Agroecosystem and Inorganic nutrient.

His study focuses on the intersection of Production and fields such as Pulp and paper industry with connections in the field of Vermicompost. Clive A. Edwards interconnects Ecology and Anatomy in the investigation of issues within Earthworm. His Germination study incorporates themes from Greenhouse, Compost, Crop, Manure and Food waste.

Between 2007 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Influences of vermicomposts, produced by earthworms and microorganisms from cattle manure, food waste and paper waste, on the germination, growth and flowering of petunias in the greenhouse (140 citations)
  • Vermiculture Technology : Earthworms, Organic Wastes, and Environmental Management (124 citations)
  • Sustainable agricultural systems (66 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Botany

Clive A. Edwards mostly deals with Earthworm, Agronomy, Microbiology, Ecology and Eisenia fetida. His Earthworm study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Anatomy. His Agronomy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Microorganism, Nutrient and Nematode.

As part of one scientific family, Clive A. Edwards deals mainly with the area of Microorganism, narrowing it down to issues related to the Manduca sexta, and often Vermicompost and Horticulture. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Environmental chemistry, EDDS, Metaldehyde and Relative toxicity. His Germination study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Greenhouse, Compost, Crop, Manure and Food waste.
