Yes there will be things like small lakes, undergrowths, berry bushes and the like but when it comes to burnt out carriages it will depend if players attack carriages or not after all it is a dynamic world (but most likely everything that you listed will be in the game).
Bodies will not simply de-spawn. They will have to be actively collected and placed into graveyards and catacombs.

Caspian has said when u drop an item its stays there until picked up, so unless someone comes clean up after you there should be debris

And this is the point. After great battle you should be able to see the battlefields covered with bodies, destroyed siege weapons etc.

Maybe we can scavange the remains of a big battle ;)
However my question was more targeted an the natural things. In many games there are wide lands full of ... nothing. I really hope that there will be all of these little details that really would make the world feel immersive.

Indeed. The devs are constantly picking up points like this. With each update, if you look for them, you'll spot numerous tweaks and changes as content gets improved and added.
Their philosophy is "rope bridge". ie their will create the most minimal working solution to a problem initially, then iteratively build and improve upon it. As such, as an example you might see generic landscapes initially with poor textures. You might later see textures improving and trees varying. You may then see clutter and animals appearing. Then the animals may become better defined. Then they may exhibit more natural behaviours etc. It's a gradual process of adding depth.

Imagine the battlefield after a war.. Maybe they should add NPC's that help on that purpose, for I'd be impressed if there were enough player motivated to spend their gaming-period moving corpses around and cleaning up. Unless kings or nobleman would pay guilds and/or players to do so.. Aaaand there we go! Recreating society as we know it! Pay others to do the stuff you don't want to ':D

"BRING OUT YER DEAD!"
Battlefield scavenging could be a very lucrative, if somewhat inconsistent, career. I'm sure plenty of weapons and shields will be dropped and forgotten, or at least missed, by those not going over the area with specific intent to find them. Armor would be rarer, due to the varying levels of death.
Still, I'm sure battlefield will end up with plenty of litter a patient, motivated scavenger could collect. From there you could repair them, sell them as is, or even break them down to material components for sale or future crafting.
As for the bodies, I wonder if they could be buried in fields before planting to act as fertilizer.

To the OP,
I imagine that as we get closer to launch, "decorative" landscaping will increase. I think the reason you've noticed just grass in certain screenshots and videos is because so far they have put alot of time and effort into the "grass" layer. Once that is optimized and stable, expect to see more additions.
