What is the meaning of 具体的に? Usage of particle in this context is not very clear to me.

具体的に means "practically" or more literally "concretely." The addition of the に changes 具体的 to function adverbially.

    I don't think 具体的に is considered a 副詞 (which is a word class in Japanese, not a description of how something is syntactically behaving). It is just considered the 連用形 of the 形容動詞. Sep 27, 2014 at 19:26

    It doesn't become a 副詞 but it does become a 連用修飾語.
