How would life be impacted if nothing left behind a corpse upon death?

Let's say that, since the dawn of time, any time an organism has died, it has dissipated upon death. With no decaying matter to fertilize or produce future plants/animals, would life have adapted? Would animals have evolved to be non-carnivorous? Would plants be non-coniferous?
