Depends.
If we are talking about going from 6 billion+ today to 0 tomorrow, most of the natural chemical and biological processes would begin to revert to their pre-human form. Some species would probably die out due to the fact of their prolonged dependence (or interdependence) on humans to provide meals for them, but a natural equilibrium would reassert itself within several hundred years or so. What ever was human would be reabsorbed back into the natural cycle, since every compound and object is made of something that can be biodegraded (nature is efficient but slow) and after another hundred years or so, there would be few, if any, traces left of what was once known as homo sapiens.
That is assuming a sudden and inexplicable recall of human matter via unexplainable or religious phenomenon. If we are talking WWIII, or some other biological component, it depends. Any planet, like any other biological system, has a point where it cannot handle sudden and rapid changes from one state to another. Massive nuclear explosions could very easily trigger nuclear chains, obliterating not only humans, but many of the plant, animal and pretty much any other macroscopic organism dependent on such, if it didn't simply rip the fabric of the planet apart. A vast plague would dump several quintillion tons of fertilizer onto the planet's surface, which would eventually find its way to the soil, and whatever grew best out of such a toxic mixture would own Earth.
Of course, since no one would be here to be keeping track, the answer is pretty much up for grabs and pointless. Can't care about a place you are no longer connected to. If a human falls in the woods, and no one is left, did he really exist?
