I would use the same construct, forming a new grouping variable and
using suitably modified pch and col arguments:
xyplot(coversage ~ dryout | year, data=dryoutcover, cex = 2,
groups = interaction(block, treatment),
pch = rep(49:54, 2),
col = rep(c('red', 'black'), each = 5))
(2 and 5 being the nlevels() of treatment and block respectively). You
would also probably prefer factor(year) rather than year.
