Adverbial Clause/ Adverbial Phrase

What's the difference between a adverbial clause and adverbial phrase? I understand that they have a subject and a verb. How do you identify a subject in adverbial clause or a adverbial phrase?

The following surbordinating conjunctions: after, when, as, because are not adverbs concession but why do they put a coma in front of them in the middle of a sentence?
