I see where my confusion comes from. I counted 4 levels of Phyto, but
you have 8, being 4 in every level of Diversity. There's your
aliasing.

> table(Diversity,Phyto)
         Phyto
Diversity M1 M2 M3 M4 P1 P2 P3 P4
        H  0  0  0  0  6  6  6  6
        L  6  6  6  6  0  0  0  0

There's no need to code them differently for every level of Diversity.
If you don't, all is fine :

> Phyto <- gsub("M","P",as.character(Phyto))
> Phyto <- as.factor(Phyto)
>
> test <- lm(C.Mean~  Mean.richness + Diversity + Zoop + Diversity/Phyto +
+ Zoop*Diversity/Phyto)
>
> Anova(test,type="III")

You can check with summary(test) that the model is fitted correctly.
