    Calculate the soil particle density using the Schjonnen model and return
    
    This function determines the particle density of soil based on the content of clay, organic matter, 
    and specific densities of organic matter, soil particles, and clay. It implements the Schjonnen model 
    (referenced year or name of the paper).
    
    Parameters
    ----------
    clay : array-like
        Soil clay content
    org : array-like
        Soil volumetric organic matter
    densorg : float, optional
        Density of organic matter [g/cm^3]. Default is 1.4 g/cm^3.
    denspart : float, optional
        Density of soil particles [g/cm^3]. Default is 2.65 g/cm^3.
    densclay : float, optional
        Density of clay particles [g/cm^3]. Default is 2.86 g/cm^3.
        
    Returns
    -------
    pd : array-like
        Soil particle density [g/cm^3].
